While on the search for Mission: Impossible locations in Prague using Google Street View, I looked down a street and instantly made a discovery - the glass-fronted train station in multiple episodes of Young Indy! It really is surprising how many locations I've found accidentally in that same manner.
The exterior of the Prague-Masaryk Railway Station (the oldest in Prague) on Havlickova Street was used in both Paris 1916 & Austria 1917. I'm guessing that the interior was also used in the show, but I haven't determined that for sure yet.
And while on a Google Image Search (yet another invaluable tool in this project) I happened across a photo of the cafe in the entrance hall of Prague's Main Railway Station - that I immediately recognized as the unnamed Belgian train station in Austria 1917.
While further scouring the images on Google Maps, I finally confirmed what I've suspected all along: the main platform of this same station was the very one used throughout the show used to represent many different cities:
It was "Nice" in Passion for Life...
..."Waterloo" in Treasure of the Peacock's Eye...
..."Paris" in Paris 1919 (& Paris 1916!)...
...and "Mockba" in Russia 1910 (to name a few)...
They really got the most they could from this location!
This has been one of the hardest spots for me to find, and also one of the first I started looking for just because it was seen so often in the show.
