Another thing I've noticed which hasn't been brought up-- both the Lake State and CSX trains you posted here do not have headlights on and appear to be parked. Shots that do not convey any sort of action and appear parked (whether they are or not) are often not accepted unless submitted as an individual roster shot of a locomotive.
You've gotten a lot of good advice from some highly experienced photographers. Keep working at it; you'll get there.
