One of the holy grails I've been working on over the past month since I got my K-5 is moving trains at night. It's tricky because you have to have a fast enough shutter speed to minimize the motion blur, a low enough ISO to minimize noise, and the right f-stop to maximize sharpness. After trial and error over the last month, I think I almost have it. (I think I can slow down the shutter speed further since this is a slow speed area.)

ISO 1600, F/2, S 1/100, 50mm F 1.4 K prime.

Well done. I like it. It has a suggestion of the Edward Hopper style in painting. I have been considering that particular lens for my kit, you added a vote in favor.

I'd say it's looking pretty good - clear and sharp! Well done.

The only thing is that it's dark. So I'm hoping to try again tomorrow night with a shutter speed of 1/80 to see if it improves things without sacrificing too much sharpness.

Of course differences of opinion cause horse races and do keep experimenting but what you have posted works for me. It may be that I had a lot of experience with railroads in and around Chicago but the "mood" in this image recalled scenes 50 and more years ago. The contrasts between window light and the dark is very good. On the artistic-technical spectrum it is well to the art side.

I think you captured the scene close to what would be what you expect to see with the naked eye. Very real vs an artistic photo.
