I keep returning to this one. I love the composition and the atmosphere you captured.
 
beautiful K... did you flip the scan? as "railroad" reads correctly.
 
Thanks for the comments. Matt, yes I flipped the scan. I usually don't do that even when there is text in the image, but compositionally this one works better for me this way.
 
my first thought was that it was a reflection from a metal surface, like the back of a stop sign or something.

again though, nice.
