What WAS that thing at the end???

The last few frames. . . of Watts in the car with her daughter. . . the camera lingered on something that looked strange with a light? on the right of the screen and something that looked like a window shutter on the left. The frame was black, white, and grey, and I couldn't figure out what the heck it was. The very next frame (I think) was the green signal. Why did the camera linger in that particular thing whatever it was, and what WAS it? Apparently it was something important or the camera wouldn't have stayed there.

I know this has been partially covered, if Watts' character was going to kill herself and her daughter on the train tracks wouldn't we have heard the train blowing its horn??? She seemed to be the one who was suffering the most from the ending of the relationships, but I don't think she would have killed her daughter.

The train? I think their death was being run over by the train.

-I just watched this now, it just ended and I don't think that happened at all. The train sounds very faint and we hear no horn nor see any lights, and Watts' car was stopped before the red light, judging by her view of it, so I never thought she was on the tracks. I don't think she killed herself and her daughter in the end.

There is no way she killed herself and her daughter.... I think that when she looked back at her daughter, she realized that everything would be ok and as long as she had her daughter she would be ok....

She draws a smiley face on the window to cheer her daughter up and turn she smiles.... She wasn't insane at the end of the movie, she was sad but she still had her daughter

If you pay attention you see the train's reflection from her windshield as it sails by, while she's sitting at the crossing. So no, they don't get hit.
