The color makes the picture seem really worn out. This gives it a more nostalgia look. Composition is interesting. Eyes are lead from the front of the train toward the back. Very nice shot.
I don't mind the desaturation effect, per se, but it seems to have left behind some odd artifacts, like the coloring in the rocks below the rail, and the green left behind in the weeds in the foreground.
Not sure why the color adjustment Looks a little bit too washed out for me. The train is good and interesting to see. Your 100% on topic for the challenge. Nice going.
This is beautiful. If you'd cropped it a bit tighter at the top it might make it look as though it's still running! I love the neutral background that shows just enough detail.
