Nice. This would be a good one if you could ever shoot it again, to do some photo stacking. If you have a current PS version then its on there. Or, you can buy the stand alone software from Helicon Focus for $30 a year. Your photo would be ideal for that technique. Barring that, to add a tiny bit of critique, maybe tone down the blueish tint. Maybe even raise the camera a bit so you can see further down the tracks.

Leave off half or more of the sky, leaving the vanishing point on the upper third line. A quite compelling image.

The rail portion is so visually compelling. really a great B&W with bluish tint.
Crop: I used an envelope to cut the tall trees off showing a little sky above them. Clone out the chain link fence left. Cut bottom up to get rid of the first two spikes. ( the gravel is interesting but not the story...rail is)and bring in the right side so that the metal plate sidewalk looks contentious. As you said damdannyboy this is a vanishing point photo make it as much of that mode as possible. I trust you moved of the track when the 12:14 came rumbling thru...

Love the perspective! Agree that much of the sky is not needed and merely a distraction. There is purple fringing that needs to be cleaned up.

I'd just crop the sky down to the gray bump in the center to eliminate some of the white.
