Did you have a uv filter on by any chance? I see quite a few signs of it or maybe it's your lens isn't up to snuff? Lots of ghosting.

I would say it's a tad overexposed and I probably would have closed the lens up a bit to correct that.

For rail photography simply don't use a UV filter instead use lens hoods, they are more then adequate for lens protection and keep rain and snow off the glass.

DSLR's seems to be way more susceptible to this then Film SLR's. After getting my DSLR I had a lot of shots ruined due to headlight ghosting till I realized it was the uv filter.

Well that's a defeatist attitude. You don't know until you try...and if you don't get it the first time, keep on practicing.

Nobody ever picks up a camera and gets it right the first time. It's called PRACTICE. You don't get good by sitting on your behind doing nothing.
