Default Ghosting????

What would cause this? the lights on the locomotives and the signal look like the camera was moved while shooting but everything else is ok.

The real treat

Looking at the EXIF of the shot, the exposure of 10s would seem to indicate simple over saturation by the lights and a bit of bleed of colour into the sensor elements of your camera.

Fixable via a shorter exposure time, but that may impact on the rest of the image negatively.

I wouldn't worry about it. You could fix the signal lights in post, but the others I'd be inclined to leave them as they are.

Were you using a filter on your lens? A UV filter could have caused the reflection.

Did you use a shutter release cable? If not it's possible and very likely the camera moved when you pressed the button unless you used the timer on the camrea. Those light sources are a lot brighter then the rest of the scene with a long exposer like that it would explain why just the lights are ghosted because that was the brightest object in the scene during that brief momemnt when the camera moved when you pressed the shutter down.

If not if you used the timer or the shutter release cable then it's a filter you used or just your lens.
