Also the aperture setting of f11 was not sufficient to get the other train in focus. Changing it to f16, would have reduced shutter speed below 1/250 sec, which was not good enough for this kind of action.

I can see two "No Entry" signboards. What are they for? Normally such boards are used on roads to warn drivers about a No Entry but that is not needed on railways where points are set from the Control Tower.
