In reviewRebels fought off, the train emerges from another tunnel. This looks like a good match with the southern end of the tunnel about 2.5 miles west of Huélago at 37°24'29.35" N 3°12'53.91" W, only a short distance from the location of capture 38. — recorded for North West Frontier by Reelstreets.

Where this came fromFonelas
In reviewEmerging from a tunnel, they find that a section of rail has been blown up.

Where this came fromGuadix, Andalusia, Spain
In reviewScott needs to assemble a train, to escape to Kalapur. This is the former railway yard at Guadix, Andalusia, Spain. The railway yard is no more, but a circular feature visible on Google Earth at 37°19'16.19" N 3°07'42.92" W surely indicates where the turntable was. There's a distant glimpse of the Guadix railway yard, seen from the station, in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade'. — recorded for North West Frontier by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.

Where this came fromZújar-Freila
In reviewAs the station at Jamshara comes into view, they prepare to stop for water. IMDB identifies this as Zújar-Freila on the now dismantled line between Guadix and Baza in Andalucia, Spain. The station building itself has changed slightly at some time, being extended at both ends, but the buildings immediately to the east, the building to the south (now hidden behind a newer addition), and the hills to the north and the west, all match extremely well. The train is travelling east here. — recorded for North West Frontier by Reelstreets. Not yet verified by us.
