Well, according to the metadata, you edited it with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0, but I have no idea what you changed. As far as I know you could have just changed the size, adjusted colors and/or straightened the image. So why should we suspect Photoshop?

Well.. People often use Photoshop to simulate over and under pictures. In this case the picture is Photoshoped. The two trains did not actually pass over and under each other. However, they were only about 45 sec apart. So, I took the opportunity to combine the two separate images. I'm sure with enough time I could get a real over and under here, but the location is on a busy road, so its not a good place to hang out and wait for trains.

Oh, youβre evil. But also really good at this, I had no idea that it was fake in any way. I have to keep that trick in mindβ¦

In this case the trick is to take two pictures of the same location around the same time. The seams between the two pictures are not noticable because they occur along the bridge. In other words, I did not cut one train out and pasted it on the bridge, I cut the enitre bridge. A seam around the locomotive would not give a smooth cut agains the background and would be immediately noticeable.
Once again, I should remind you these trains were only seconds apart from each other, so the scentery and light is identical.
