While it doesn't have the sense of movement of the original what it does have is a stunning view of the mountain scenery beauty that this train is traveling through. Great details in this shot from the tracks, to the foliage to the engine. Love that you composed the angle so that the train and tracks are traveling to the right bottom corner - leading lines that draw the eye to the main subject and the lovely scenery in the backdrop. The processing really brought the yellow and red tones but I feel it is a bit too saturated. The yellow of the train and the is a bit too overpowering especially with all the golden foliage around it. The rail on the tracks has a red that is almost glowing. Not sure the color of the sky works - it has an ominous mood to it which doesn't pair well with the beautiful tranquil scenery.
A great choice, but for me, this isn't as powerful or dynamic as the original. Also, the tonal compression is just too strong for me, as is the orange hue over everything. Finally, this image appears static, while the original is characterized by highly dynamic movement.
