For the first one, there is too much dead space on the left. I know you were trying to show the train trailing behind the engine, but you could afford to crop some off the left as the complete left-hand frame is nothing but trees. Maybe add a tad to the right to balance it out.
For the second one, I like the intent: showing the Cafe and people pausing to watch the passing train. Perhaps cut out the pickup truck on the right, kill some of the foreground dirt, and chop the sky a tad and it might just work...
