Description
The ancient resting place of the Pharaohs is now disturbed by the presence of an external transit hub. Why would an intercontinental container port be built by a pyramid? Who knows...

Not a real game, built with Public Service in pak98.comic
Chigasaki
Let me show you another place in my implementation of Tokyo region: station in Chigasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/7472/chigasaki.png)
Chigasaki Station was opened on June 15, 1898 for both passenger and freight service as part of the section of the Japan National Railway Tōkaidō Main Line connecting Yokohama with Kōzu. In 1921 it became a terminus of Sagami Line.
The station building was reconstructed in 2006 to include a multi-story department store.

The single track unelectrified was the first station in the area, built as an extension of a short goods-only line; new platforms were then provided for the terminus of skipping long-distance services to the west (the reversing sidings of which are also visible). With the extension of services towards the north and east, new through services are also operated, as well as a local stopping service for the urban area. The station is less conveniently located in relation to the city centre, but proved a good choice nevertheless due to the more generous space for future expansion available without having to resort to demolition of entire city blocks. In total the station is served by 7 services, including the high-speed line (though it is far from the most used station on the map); the line furthest east, without platforms, is the goods-dedicated avoiding lines, which at the moment sees only infrequent and limited oil traffic.
Pak64.japan and countless addons.
All beautiful submissions so far! Let's see if anyone can do better!
May be not or... ?
I hope to make a mistake ;-)
The facts:
Version 111.3.1, pak128, version version 2.1.0, no addons for this shot, not from an actual game
There is only one station. The underground stops, mail and passenger, as well as the train station are part of the above ground stops and airport.
The story:
This little city was built by a wealthy steel magnate to access the many ski resorts in the area. The city hall is used mostly as a bed and breakfast for stranded passengers during inclement weather. In addition to the usual modes of transportation, there is a dog sled available most of the time. The driver really wanted to pose for the picture but was urgently called away to carry medical supplies to an injured skier.

It is June 2013, when British National Rail Museum celebrates 75th anniversary of the fastest ever recorded run of a steam locomotive. For tourist purposes NRM runs a few Class A4-steam powered services across the country, such as the 4:10 London Fenchurch Street to Southend service, which just passes Docklands Light Railway's main Hub Tower Hill. While steaming towards next stop Limehouse, a c2c Upminster-Fenchurch Street service is approaching it's terminus.
