What a lovely shot Snapper! Well exposed, good composition and interesting subject 
Looks a lot better full size too.
If I was to edit anything I might straighten the horizon a little in photoshop.

IMO, by far your best shot I've seen to date Snapper.
Although there is no clear focal point the converging lines leads the eye naturally to the horizon - I was peering for a train coming in the distance. Considering you didn't use a wide-angle lens the sense of perspective and space is well achieved by your slightly lower position and dropping the level of the horizon to include more sky.
The only two things I might have tried would be to add a little more contrast, and as Azz has suggested - level the horizon.
It certainly looks better full size - Nice job.

I think that's great for an amateur Snaps!
