COMPOSITION
A very interesting composition. I think it is good how you have the tracks, poles, adn wires leading into the upper left corner of the frame, while the landscape provides contrast and leads the eyes towards the right of the frame. The empty space on the right is a little distracting in that it is not truly negative space, because there is still "stuff" there, so it doesn't point entirely to the tracks and train. Perhaps a vertical cropping eliminating the right side and showing more of the top of the train would have added impact.
TECHNIQUE
The stark bw of this shot is effective at giving an "empty" feeling to the landscape. It almost looks desolate. I like how the mountains in the background fade into what looks like fog or mist and it seems very sharp to me.
OVERALL EFFECT
Again, I think your coloring, framing, etc. combine to give this pic a less than hopeful feeling. It is a very good picture in that it is technically well done, adn evokes emotion.
A beautiful scene. It is a pity those electricity poles couldn't disappear. I also think that there is too much to the right of the image. It might look more well-balanced if about 1/8 of the right-hand side was cropped.
