Hmm........Interesting.
My guess:
Looks like a new bridge(Fresh paint, very little weathering, ties look freshly cut)
Late 1890's, early 1900's, Riveted construction, the stack on the loco, large headlight(4-4-0 American???)
I agree its out west, but that looks like a morning fog burning off in the distance. So the train is moving east in the late morning, close to noon.
I'm guessing(its only a guess), either Colorado, Wyoming (Iron construction of the bridge where the weather is more extreme than in a desert enviroment)
Since my guess is the late 1890's, it could be any small railroad.
