Here's a couple more from this last weekend.
The first is the Septa regional yard behind 30th street station.
The second is at the same location as the Amtrak shot earlier. I just liked the reflections off of the rails.
Still no luck getting the poles removed.

I like both shots. Unlike your previous post and because of the nature of the scene I like the first photo as you posted it without removal of the utility poles because they actually add to the message the picture conveys.
One thing I forgot to tell you about using layers and the spot healing brush. The first thing you should do when you open a photo in Photoshop is go to the Layers dropdown menu and make a duplicate layer. If you do not make that duplicate layer, everything you do in Photoshop will be applied to your original file directly and if you save the image it will overwrite your original and make it unrecoverable should you want to go back and start your editing from scratch. Once you have made a duplicate layer you can add layers and make other adjustments to the duplicate layer without endangering your original file. Also, the spot healing brush and some other tools can only be used on the duplicate layer. If you add a brightness/contrast layer for example, the brush will not work on that layer. You would need to select the duplicate layer to do that once you have added any layers after the duplicate layer. But, as I said, I would not remove the poles on your first image.
The night photo is the best of the photos you have shown us, however I would consider removing the strong light and its post in the foreground using the spot healing brush or by cropping it out of the picture because it is too distracting. When you look at the image, your eye is immediately drawn to that part of the image away from the main subject matter because it is way too bright and large. See what you can do and post the results.

Thanks,
I realize many haven't seen a rail yard that services mostly electric trains.
Removing the poles that hold the catenary wiring (the vast majority),would look pretty stupid.
What is shown, is what it looks like.
I don't have photoshop to work with the other stuff. I can however do the cropping you noted.
