From my photo last summer. It was difficult to get the reference image as dark as it was in life on my mobile device since it kept optimizing for maximum light exposure! I had to Photoshop it back to true dark. I had seen the train parked on a siding as left my studio so that evening, after buying an ice cream cone to eat while I waited for darkness, I went back and took the reference photo. Most of the light is actually coming from my car headlights.
