Hard to say, the CSX units because of the light look over, and the BNSF's red looks under.

I'm going out on a limb and saying to much. Although there is not enough light on the BNSF unit. I'm going by the red light being cast on the CSX engines to me looks to red??

It's not really a saturation problem, but rather a bad color problem. There is an odd dark red color cast to almost the entire image, most obviously visible in the sky. It looks as if you used a red ND grad filter. The blue on the CSX unit almost looks pink. Can you post the original, unedited shot?

Here is the Original, the main thing I did with the reject from the original was lighten shadows, cropped the photo as well as a little sharpening.

I can say its the lights throwing off the whole thing. My photos I tried to take at Livernois while waiting for the train at night always looked like that.

Man that will be a tough one to get the color looking good on. The lighting is really throwing it off. Wonder if adjusting white balance will help. ???

The original isn't great to begin with and the location isn't lending any favors. I'd pass on it myself.
