The railroad tracks are such narrow gauge that I suspect it's from a mine of some kind. Further, the overgrowth on the tracks leads me to believe it's been abandoned for quite a while.
The railroad track is a short-narrow gauge that used to be popular in pre-independent India. The school-dress (white+blue) is very common in schools around rural areas. I'd say an educated guess would put this somewhere in the North-Eastern area of India. Perhaps Shillong, or near Darjeeling.

I'm willing to bet those "twilight clouds" are the result of aerosol spraying. Google images "chemtrails".
