I know "wherezits" don't usually show any equipment, but in this case...

Tucson

Nope!   I'll just say "wrong state" and let that be a hint.

Looking at the crappy air, power lines and mountains I’d say Southern California.

Still "wrong state". 

Here's a hint: These units are on trackage rights here but not very far from home rails (less than 100 miles). 

Somewhere in Mexico?

Yes!  Can you get more specific?

Monterrey??

Nope.  OK I'll stop torturing everyone.  This is in Silao in the state of Guanajuato.  It's Ferromex trackage, but KCSdeM has trackage rights over from Celaya and Escobedo, through Irapuato.  This particular trackage is the remnant of the old branch to the city of Guanajuato, which isn't active anymore past this point, though the track is still in place (but overgrown) most of the way into Guanajuato.  That's a large GM truck factory on the right. 

Thanks for guessing!

The hills and the big white building is why I guessed Monterrey, as to the shot, if it ain't in California
it don't exist!

Out

Looks like high speed rail !

Yeah the stub of the branch doesn't look too hot but the Ferromex mainline this connects to is all concrete ties and welded rail. 

The elevated white tower boxes on the left of the locomotives are for a prison??

No - I think watchtowers to thwart potential thieves for the lots where they store finished trucks before they get loaded onto the autoracks.
