step 1 of 19
I had an idea for a ghost train but wanted it to appear transparent with glowing light effects. I wasn't sure how to go about it so I messed around with multiple copies of the train with different blending modes.
Firstly I got the train into position. Thank you to Sergey Lebedev aka graf

step 2 of 19
I made the pic of the train into a greyscale, inverted and colorized it.
I added a radial blur (zoom), roughly masked and set this layers blend mode to vivid light at 30%

step 3 of 19
This is the effect of step 2
step 4 of 19
I duped my colorised train layer and added more radial blur zoom and stretched the pic horizontally to fit the tunnel pic. I set this layers blending mode to color burn at 40%
step 5 of 19
This is the effect of step4
step 6 of 19
Another copy of the train this time as a greyscale, roughly masked. The layers blend mode is set to vivid light at 100%
step 7 of 19
This is the effect of step 6
step 8 of 19
Another colorised copy of the train, roughly masked and set the layer to multiply at 50%

This is the effect of step 8
step 10 of 19
Next I added a reduced opacity greyscale copy of the train with a tight mask. I set the layer to soft light at 50% and added inner and outer glows.
step 11 of 19
This is the effect of step 10
step 12 of 19
This is a copy step 10 with a radial blur (zoom) added. The layer is set to normal.
step 13 of 19
This is the effect of step 12
step 14 of 19
This is a copy of the train in step 12 set to multiply.
step 15 of 19
This is the effect of step 14
step 16 of 19
This layer is a reduced opacity greyscale version of the train with a tight mask. I set the layers blending mode to soft light at 60% and added inner and outer glows.
step 17 of 19
This is the effect of step 16
step 18 of 19
Next I duped the tunnel image which is the background layer and set the blending mode to color burn at 10%.
step 19 of 19
Next I added an adjustment layer to change the hue and lightness.
Finally I made selections of the two wall lights and added a yellow outer glow.
