Rotate it so the train is vertical, and crop out the bottom where there seems to be something black that is kind of distracting.

Otherwise, great shot.

I didn't mean to be bossy. Just giving suggestions as to how I would like it.

one rail is higher

I wondered how much of the tilt was due to that. Nice shot!

The tracks are tilted in the curves so I left it to show that :)

It's just high banked turns. Us NASCAR fans can even understand that. ;)

Cool...maybe clone out the bit of tie at the bottom...the rest of the shot looks good.

Just as long as the train wasn't turning right;)

It's a good shot, but I probably would have cropped it so the tip of the rail matched the corner of the frame, thus removing said distracting object (saw it before I saw the rail cars), but still leaving that active space infront of the engine.
