Hmm lets see... first of all.. good catch on the double stack on the trestle...
It looks to me like you have a slight case of *left-itis* which happens a lot shooting trains.. maybe a slight tilt to the right and you should be ok...color and composition is pretty good considering you were shooting into the sky...
All in all good job!

Ok, but I didn't even think it was a train picture at first. It almost seems like billboards on a bridge. I think I would have slowed down the shutter to the max extent possible and gotten some blur there. Doesn't look like the sky cooperated that well that day .... It is so bright that you lost all detail in the trees and bottom part of the bridge, but at least the upper bridge and train were nicely illuminated.

Hi Greg,
This one doesn't sing to me like your last train shot. Probably b/c of the sky. I like the point of view here, and the diagonals work---just that pesky sky is the thing that brings it down some. This would have been a super duper shot if you could've caught it at sundown.
