It sounds like this is an extremely modern train station for fast trains in that desert, mostly desert, it's not all. I've been combing these articles to see if espionage is a motive.

Fire strikes Saudi high-speed train station, at least five injured

DUBAI (Reuters) - A fire broke out in the Haramain high-speed rail station in Saudi Arabia’s coastal city of Jeddah, injuring at least five people, the authorities said on Sunday.

Plumes of black smoke were still rising from the roof of the station at least four hours after the fire broke out at 12.35 p.m. (0935 GMT), Al-Ekhbariya state television footage showed.

It said civil defense were fighting the fire with air support and many sections of the blaze were under control.

The article says 16 medical teams are there.

The articles make no mention of sabotage, so I'm think, there's probably a chance of it.
