"This is my first submission. I originally was going for a "Strangers on a Train" concept, but found it difficult to unobtrusively shooting strangers on or entering a train, so I moved back. Then I was struck by people waiting for the train to arrive, hence "Trainspotting." I took a number of photos of people waiting for the train, but I wasn't satisfied, so I pulled back further. Then it was a matter the camera/viewer looking for the train and becoming a sort of "Where's Waldo?" participant (a bit of a tip of the hat the earlier challenge and, hopefully, a subtle joke with the title). I also liked the contrast of the vertical of the buildings vs. the horizontal of the station and train."

At least, that was my original picture. Then I took this one on Saturday and decided I had to submit it instead.

Noise filtered, Cropped, brightened, increased contrast
