The more I look at wallyweb's entry, the more it radiates HIGH SPEED. The scope really works in your favour here, the layout makes it look like the trains are going into hyperspace speed :P

:bow:
In Canada high speed is 120 km/h. Hyperspace speed is 200 km/h, conditions permitting (virtually never). :lol:

The Sinhung line is a narrow gauge railway in North Korea. On this line, trains are cable hauled up a 45% incline. The station on the other side of the climb has a nice switchback embedded in it.

Koninklijke Nederlandse Hoogovens en Staalfabrieken (KNHS) was founded to enable Dutch industry to become less dependent on imports. The geographical location of the Netherlands was ideal for the establishment of an iron and steel company, with its excellent access to the sea for the supply of raw materials and the export of finished products. The steelworks was established at IJmuiden, a town on the North Sea coast with good access inland via the North Sea Canal. The initial capital was raised by companies, private investors, the Dutch State and the city of Amsterdam. Construction began in 1920, and in 1924 the first blast furnace was commissioned and iron production began. By the mid 1930's, Hoogovens had become the largest exporter of pig iron in the world. In 1936, they began producing cast-iron pipes. Steel production began in 1939, using open-hearth furnaces. What you're seeing here is just a part of the enormous complex that KNHS is, during the early 1940s just before the German occupation.

My entry ...
It was in the late 1930's, the King of Britain, George VI, planned a visit to Canada. Canadian Pacific (CPR) and Canadian National (CNR) had the honours to 'chauffeur' the King and his entourage across Canada from Québec to Vancouver and back to Halifax, New Brunswick. CPR chose the 4-6-4 Hudson No 2850 for the journey; whereas CNR went for the 4-8-4 U4 'Confederation' No 6400 for the Royal Train. Both companies painted the steam engines and a set of carriages in blue/silver livery. The event took place in 1939 from May 17 to June 15. After the event CPR renamed their Hudsons '4-6-4 Royal Hudson' by permission of King George VI. A reenactment of this historic event can be seen in this scenery at Toronto ... Railway buffs came from far and wide to view this spectacle ...

This is the place called Mundrabilla on the Nullarbor Plains in Australia .. the nallarbor Plains is the longest straight stretch of railway in the world .. 487 km long.
Fettlers (navvies) are busy doing track repairs near this crossing loop. They will camp along side the railway line until the work is done.
All these siding used to be manned before modernization of signalling and safeworking. There would have been several houses here for railway employees at one time. They used to be supplied with groceries and other items on a special train called the Tea and Coffee train. (A shop on railway wheels). Only one house has survived which someone is still using (must be cold there as they have the fire going). The fettlers sheds where the old trolleys were kept is used just for tools. Fettlers now use road vehicles that can also be used on rail .. two can be seen in the siding.
Here you can see a Sydney bound container train waiting in the crossing loop .. it is 2 1/2 km long with 84 wagons loaded with containers. It is waiting to cross the Perth bound Indian Pacific with 20 carriages.

This map is far from complete but I was just building this area and thought it would make a nice entry for this competition. It's still a little rough around the edges but there's no way it'll be ready for the competition otherwise.
The Sakurajima Line in Osaka, Japan. This line serves an industral area which has been partially redeveloped into a tourism area. The Universal Studios theme park is situated right next to a sea of industrial sheds and overlooked by modern hotels. Maishima Sports Island and the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan are also visible.

This real life railroad scene can be viewed on the satellite view on Google Earth or Google Maps. Search for 50°38'15.74" N 121°18'11.49" W.
One of the great bottlenecks in Canada's two (CN and CP Rail) transcontinental rail services are the Thompson River and Fraser River canyons through the Rocky Mountains where there is only room for one track on each side of the rivers, a schedulers nightmare. In 2006 a shared track accommodation was reached whereby CN trackage would run East to West and CP Rail West to East, with crossover junctions at each end. Today we view the Eastern junction near Basque, British Columbia where there is room for multi trackage. We see a West bound CP grain train moving over to the CN tracks while an East bound VIA Rail passenger train, "The Canadian", waits for that CP freight to clear the junction before moving over to CN trackage. Meanwhile a CN double stack container train waits for both trains to clear the junction so that it can move into the last CN double track block before the bottleneck where it will wait for the CP train to move into the next CN single track block.

I tried a few different approaches, but ended up with my attempt at the Maeklong Railway Market after all :)
The railway became famous for its route through the Maeklong Railway Market, nicknamed (Thai: ตลาดร่มหุบ; RTGS: Talat Rom Hup), meaning the "umbrella pulldown market". It is one of the largest fresh seafood markets in Thailand, and is centred on the Maeklong Railway's track. Whenever a train approaches, the awnings and shop fronts are moved back from the rails, to be replaced once the train has passed

Apparently ebla71's tt-forum account disappeared and his entry was included in the tragedy.
His account has since been restored by orudge but his screenshot has been lost.
If he can repost his submission in the next day or two, I will add it to the vote list and allow voters to change their votes.
