Thanks for the comments 
biL, thanks for the food for thought. I have filed Mike C's photo in my railroad files.
I've been debating whether or not to make a more defined horizon/sky junction above the road to get away from the "foggy" look. The junction would slant downward to the middle from both sides. I am also pondering a couple of distant telephone poles with street lights to each side of the road, getting shorter and smaller as they recede in the distance.
Something for all to consider when planning or building a scene, if the road or creek is running somewhat perpendicular to the backdrop, maybe the perspective should start on the layout? Make the road or waterway larger and wider at the front and shrinking in size to the back.
