Excellent composition and colors. The only problem is the very flat lighting.

Meets the challenge and seems well exposed with good even light but lacks a point of interest or a "story" to tell.

Nice repetition, but not much atmosphere. Maybe an early morning, or even a nigt shot might work better.

The JPEG artifacting in this shot is pretty bad, did you use the maximum file size?

Wish you had cropped it in the top - and a little more contrast would be nice too.

i really like the diagonal lines. the yellow car in the foreground is a distraction to the lines. maybe you could've cropped a little tighter on the bottom and then cloned out the remaining part of it? also, most of the colors look a little washed out. i just quickly dropped your image into photoshop and "darken highlights" by 40% made the image look a lot more vivid...

Bump the contrast and bring up the color saturation and you have something here. As is, seems a little flat. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

I reckon cropping out the top section and really only having trains would have been better...it could have done with some levels adjustment and a bit of contrast
