Not sure what people will make of this, especially the power lines...
Editing relatively simple: cloned out three spots of sensor dust, noise removal, saturation boost, contrast boost, cropped, resized, sharpened, save for web.
If we were in advanced I'd perhaps do something about the writing on the side of the train, it's not very clear so some selective sharpening might help.
Outtake here:
Much prefer the background in the outtake but the glare on the nose of the train is horrible. Think I made the right choice though.

These trains are much better than they used to be! Damian and I were forever moaning about the poor service but the last time I took a trip with them I was impressed! ;o)
Now, is this my 'winged' friend or another Yorkshire member? :o) Well done on getting some good detail in the train and for entering a shot that shows panning as it should be...after voting on over half of this challenge so far I can tell you that you are in the minority...you'd be surprised how many people have entered allsorts of weird and wonderful non panning shots in this challenge!
Good work on panning but the image itself doesn't really have any emotion to it. I would like it much more if there was either more scenery in the image or if the train took up more of the frame.
