In the city where I live there are two train stations, next to each other, and with different track gauges.

Eastern Europe somewhere?

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 2 points 5 months ago

I'd guess somewhere near the Spanish-French border, because I happen to know that Spain uses a different gauge to the rest of Europe.

That doesn't narrow it down much - sounds like you are in one of:

  • Alsace (Saint Maurice)
  • Bohol, Philippines (Baclayon)
  • Bratislava (the cathedral)
  • Carpeneto (San Giorgio)
  • Cingoli (San Domenico)
  • Derbyshire (St Swithin's)
  • Gothenburg (Nödinge)
  • Hasselt (Virga Jesse)
  • Lillehammer (Fåberg)
  • Malta (St Anthony of Padua)
  • Racconigi (Santa Maria Maggiore)
  • Žďár nad Sázavou (Saint John of Nepomuk)

I'm going to guess Holmesfield?

Impressive list. This one is in the United States though.
