I like the wheels and the train in the background, it's a detail that really makes this shot work for me. I think cropping a little closer on the right would be nice.

Comment by Teafran:
From a technical standpoint, this is a terrific effort - crisp, sharp with everything detail well controlled and captured. From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. Sometimes an image, even one as technically competant as this one is, is just an image. A worthy entry into the challenge and directly related to the challenge subject. A good effort falling short in the artistic sense.

The toning works well for the photo, and good rendition of texture.

I can't say I agree with the choice of color effects, but I do think that the border that was added is very distracting to the picture.
