David, as I thought then - and it has worked effectively too.

David,
It works for me as an abstract, and to that end, the blackness and lack of detail in large parts of the image are integral. The blown reflections from the rails and the red light are the keys to it.
I've had a look at your EXIF - a quick shutterspeed and some -ve EV have most likely given you a chance to keep all of that light on the rails, while substantially under-exposing the rest?
The red light on the end of the train does draw the eye, but in doing so adds a touch of pop-art to the image.
For me, it succeeds - I like it.

Gwyn - I'm sure things will sort themselves out, and good luck with the project.
Pentaxophile - Don't we all: leave them home, and then find the picture we've been waiting for... I wish I could be as disciplined as Mike, lugging his Lowepro to work daily.
Simon - That sounds like another poll waiting its turn? Good catch with the rainbow and lighthouse. The rockpool reflection is lovely, as is the sky.
Stephen - That's Murphy's Law again...

He'll most likely be back Mike, that belfry would be a take-away shop for him.
