Added two duplicate layers, one blending with overlay the other with multiply. I brought up the saturation, fixed the levels and performed a USM on each layer. Also a slight rotation and crop.

Very unique, minimal information, but still so much to see and study. Nice color tones as well. Might like to see the tracks a tad bit brighter though.
Really beautiful shot. I can see this hanging on my wall as a fine art print. The grungy colors and high contract work really well, as does the composition. 10
Nice textures and patterning...lots of interesting things to look at and explore...I really like the deep red of the brick and how it lightens towards the right of the image, a pleasing and subtle gradation.
Very nice grungy feel to this photo. At first I thought that I might like to see the entire railroad track, but the more I look at the photo and it's "dissected" lines...I think it's just right the way it is. Nicely done.
