I need As much Help With Night Photography of Locomotives as I can get

what is your problem? a little info would help.. color /b&w? moving or
standing trains?
close up or distant.

b/w over expose and slightly underdevelope, you need to get more detail in
the threashold areas, the blacks, over exposing will get build up exposure,
under developing will keep the highlights from burning out, see any zone
system book.

color, shoot at late twilight so there is a bit of fill. for a cool effect,
lock down your tripod (you are using one right) and shoot one at twilight
one stop under, shoot again at full dark with all the lights on.

OOP MY BAD
I shoot color and then convert it to B&W
The B&W's look good if the train is Not moving or moving at a speed
under 10mph anf faster then that I wont shoot it

i'm using a 2.0 mega pixel Camera which is able to take great night
shots like this one at St. Louis
