Thank you for your comment Ronnie!This is an old caboose at a local park that sits on a piece of track along with this light. It doesn't go anywhere and is just on display, so I thought I would give it some motion.
Basically I just made the train into one object and the light pole into another using various masking tools.
Once I had my train object, I duplicated it and motion blurred the train object on the lower level. Combined the train object with the object tranparency merge tool.
Then taking the light pole object, I duplicated it several times. Used the 3D mesh warp tool to shape each one as if the train had bent the pole when it flew by. Progressivly added blur and decreased the opacity of each pole from front to back. I also blurred the sky from the original image.
It was a fun colorful project to do!
