Looking at the d7200 now was wondering if anyone shoots with it on here. I'm not to worried about the extra bells and whistles with the d500 has. Nice feature with 4k but wont be needing it for what i want to do . Will be shooting railroad and city scapes at night but main thing is railroad . Under toms stuff in the "my gallery" you'll see some pics and was wondering if anyone may want to list comparisons between what i have up and what they think the pic would be like with the d7200 such as, tone white balance etc.based on there use with the d7200 as a ballpark idea, Thanks, Tom shot by hand with nikon coolpix 8800 no filters.

I know it's a big purchase, but I think you're overthinking it. Any Nikon camera will be able to do what you've listed here. White balance is easily adjusted in post processing if you get it wrong. Your first image is very warm, it would be easy to adjust with a D3200 or a D7200. The D7200 will give you a higher quality raw image than the D3200, with 14bit, but the difference is marginal. Getting a D500 or a D750 will nab you a better camera, with a better interface and better AF, a larger buffer, but they aren't necessary to take a good picture. Saving money for lenses and a good tripod isn't a bad idea, if you aren't shooting fast action and dynamic settings.
For the second picture, all you need is a tripod and a longer exposure.

Thanks for the feedback I'll b doing more research and look foward to your help and feedback tom
No problem, if I can suggest, look at the lenses you want first and make the camera your secondary concern. Then buy what you can afford.
