I hate to say it, but it really doesn't work for me. I can't tell what's happening. I mean it looks like an old shop or factory, but those new white-painted metal railings look completely out-of-place, so I'm assuming it's not the shop that's been (or being) restored. Then I see what appears to be the top of old railroad cars. I can't tell what's happening to them, or why they're there, so I assume they're what's being restored, but I can't really tell for sure. It wasn't until I read your description that I found out that they're old trams being repaired, but even knowing that, there's just not enough here to make me appreciate the photo.
