    I like the second picture - perhaps next time same angle but from slightly lower down? The way you can only really see the front of the Loco, and the uniformity of the carriages, combined with a lower shot would really exude power.

    The problem with taking it from lower down is that it would make it look like the train was running on the concrete wall on the left - it blends into the same perspective as the rails when you use a powerful lens. What would improve the photograph is a bit more exhaust.

    Think it's the other way round - I'm sure you can see coal piled up in the bunker.
