Question Abandoned Train

I just sorted through some photos of an abandoned train and uploaded them to flikr.
I've been taking photos for less than a year and I'm desperate for a bit of critique! Any comments will be much appreciated.
Feel free to browse the rest of my photostream.

Abandoned Train - a set on Flickr

Thanks!!

While I can't say much about the mechanics (not an expert), I really like your photos. The composition of a lot of them is really nice. I'm a fan of photographs of abandoned places, so I also enjoyed your photos from the abandoned Hilton hotel. Nice work. I'd be interested to see more.

I also like the perspective on these, good captures, as far as offering a critique on these..other than a few ho-hum shots in the set I think you did a good job overall, good mix of closeup and good use of B&W..

A really good series there.
I can't find anything I would change on these shots.

I liked a lot of your photos of the abandoned train. In particular, I like the following shots:

The one with the blurred operational train running behind the abandoned one: the contrast between "living" and "dead" is fantastic

The one with the puddle on the lower left of the frame: I like that the horizon is not level. It suits the story, or at least enhances the idea of "dead" train!

Nicely done!
