With the city buildings visible in the
background,the length of the cars, the
depth is wonderful.
The lights and colors pop out at the viewer.
The grass adds more softness to it, as does the fog.
Perfection would have been rail yard workers in the shot, or maybe a face in the windows.
But life doesn't pose for us!
San Diego, California has a rail system similar to this. I tried some shots down near the border across from the rail yard, but was not satisfied.
I have yet to master the night shot.
I would be very happy with these results!

What do you think?

Brilliant lighting! It is so difficult to capture night images. It is obvious that you have mastered the art and technical aspects of night shoots. I like the perspective. You shot from an angle that is not too low, nor is it too high. I like the track switch in the foreground as it steers the viewers eyes toward the train on the left, which then sharpens the contrast with the train on the right. The image flows nicely. After the viewer has taken in the entire image, only then does the surprise hidden in the details begin to emerge. And, what detail there is!! Great DOF...nothing is lost to the viewer. Very good contrast, and excellent color gradation.
