Phoenix? [(-D][(-D][(-D]
Not quite! A bit north of there…[(-D]
You’re in Wisconsin, on some trackage that was once operated by CNW. Beyond that, I’m at a loss.
Warmer…(but wasn’t in the picture)
Since the image was taken on 12:20 PM with snow falling…
Referring to the Weather Service maps of today’s weather events reveal a possible area stretching from Fargo ND to Chicago Il.
Hardly a precise area to guess in.
There is nothing in the image except a red engine with some kind of stripes on the front. That’s it; Im betting those are DOT stripes:

This image says Eldora IA as a possible location but not sure.
CN Branch from Appleton to New London, WI ??
… or WSOR north of Milw - heading to Plymouth ??
Nope…way off!
Close…wrong on the WSOR
CN Neenah - Manitowoc line? Near Waverly Beach?
The high headlight on the loco is throwing me off a bit.
Breaks out map and starts to cross off nope lines and by process of elimination over time reveal the answer…
Directly above the center of the Earth.
Great guess and I like how you’re thinking…but you’ve likely never run over these lines previously owned by your former employer.
Right road, wrong line.
Dan: I zoomed in on the left side of the photo. I see 2 snowflakes that are exactly alike. Nice catch.
CN between Wausau and Junction City?
Nope…going further away!
Hint:North of Milwaukee…
CP main track 2 eastbound?
Nope. It’s CN trackage with a CN engine on point!
