1. Looks like "flatland".
2. The high steel viaduct appears to be for moving ore cars to an upper level of something. Two short trains up on the viaduct seem to rule out that it was a "main line bridge".
3. Ore cars indicate some kind of mining, could be iron, but then again could be almost anything
4. the Loco to the left is more"modern" than the one to the right, both appear to be switchers ( paired sand boxes )
I don't think this is in a mountainous area, or a wide flat valley, but even that is hard to nail down.
What was the source of the photo? That might be of some help in finding the location, there aren't enough solid clues in the photo itself, and the resolution doesn't permit enlarging the shot to possibly read a road name on the tenders.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
