I like the perspective that you got with this train setting it against the background sky and landscape, the sense of flow that is created in the image with the placement of the engine and train and that smoke curling back over the train, and you seem even to be getting a wave from the engineer.

Reminds me of the children's story of the Little Train That Could. Not your usual POV, which makes your image unique. I like the composition, and the engineer standing in the doorway is a plus. Wonderful plumes of steam. Would increase levels just a hair, to get richer blacks in the engine without losing detail. You might want to clone out that tiny cloud that meets the tracks.

Nice and interesting. Agree with Ruth's comment.
