Based on the pylons in the left background, heathland in the right background and siding in the foreground, the location is the southern end of the viaduct on the now-dismantled chord of the Branksome Triangle with the train making its way from Bournemouth Central to Bournemouth West. The houses in the background are in Gordon Road South.
