This was captured with a DSLR and a 400mm/2.8 lens, which contributed to the compressed perspective. The conductor boarding the leftmost train is essential to the composition, I think. Ewing, NJ ("West Trenton") is the last stop on SEPTA's commuter trains from Philadelphia on the former Reading Railroad's line to northern NJ. CSX freight trains still use the tracks north of the station, beyond the end of the overhead electrified wiring used for passenger service.
