Based on the photographer’s own description those are the lights of an approaching train. He spent many sleepless nights to get this shot right.

Debunked by @PicPedant on Twitter.

The Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church was built in 1922. The building was indeed abandoned in 1970s. A non-profit group started a restoration project in 2012.
