Hi Max,
I suppose someone might as well be perfectly blunt in answer to your 
question > "Was it worth it?" <<<

Sorry mate, "Nope!" Now if you can tell me what the motivating moment was to 
take this picture, like what do you really see here? What was the main 
reason for making this exposure. Like what grabbed you in the gut and you 
respond... "Yeah that's what I want!"

Or why do I have the feeling this was just a test to see if the cops came 
after you for making an "exposure of some kind?" And if that's the case why 
bother it's just wasting your time messing with any of this security stuff. 
Simply because anyone who does is missing a few bricks of a full load. 
Besides you'll never win the cops have all the cards and they have them 
marked with pictures!

Really, if this is the best you can do, once again I feel bad about being 
the blunt in your face comment guy! Sell your camera or use your imagination 
to make something out of this train thing... like a slow shutter speed and 
capture the blur of the train flying along..

Or if this is "mass transit? Where are the masses in transit? However, I'm 
going back to the cops and you just did this to see if you could get away 
with it. Right? Fess up now and we wont squeal on you. ;-)
