Well, I'm on my second glass of wine, so you might take this with a grain of salt. IMO, it's not a bad photo, by any means.

As far as train images goes, I'd say it's average. It seems a little flat, and the composition doesn't really move me. The bridge and wind sock are a bit distracting; and I'm partial to compositions with an odd number of subjects. There are just so many shots similar to this, that a person would have to do something extraordinary to raise the bar. Not to say that there isn't a lot of opportunity to find a unique angle or candid at this location.

There's a sense here that this is a cropped section out of a larger, more dynamic image. It is just too "tight" to work very well, there are no real compositional dynamics at work here. A little more on the left (maybe quite a bit more) and some more on the top and it would be significantly stronger. The colors and the sense of sompression are both powerful.
