There's really too much clutter for that angle in the first and third. While it is a miniature EMD (it's a Chevy), the van in front of the Amtrak locomotive doesn't really add to the shot. There's really not a whole lot that can be done for the photos.

Thank you sir. I do have another shot without of the Amtrak engines without the CSX van in the way but I think it will still get rejected for foreground clutter. Unfortunetly I did not have my 70-300 MM lens that day. Thanks for the help though.
