Ohhh, this is really good!

I like the really metallic feel that the top half of the image has,which then blends down in to the yellowish lighting that is shining across the track, the two red lights on the rear of the train are a nice central focal point which leads your eyes down the track.

The only slight issue, what's the black spot on the light of the train on the left?

Nice image, vibrant colors and a fairytale kind of processing.

I believe the subject is the thermostat, which is definitely in the first third of the photo. It is nicely photographed with good focus and nice DoF. However the photo is lacking in interest. It would serve as a great illustration for a textbook and you should consider this as a great stock photo.
