Photo # 2 is really excellent. North America's finest Rail Road, with the finest locomotives built any where, (EMD's). The 2 loco's are of the same company, but different original parent companies. The bulldozer adds variety, keeping with in the " working machines" theme of the picture.
Photo # 1 is interesting, but the locomotives are distant There is not really enough locomotive or rail yard in the photo. Still a good photo, but not quite as good as Photo # 2
Interesting view of the ladder with solar powered, remote controled (?) switches. Not visable in the picture is the Mudchicken cringing at the condition of the track.
Got my vote.

....I don't have any criticism to either photo regarding exposure, sharpness, etc....Rate both similar.
I did vote for photo number 1.
My choice was influenced by the details of "railroad stuff" in the composition.
Liked the array of switches all in a line and compressed by the tele shot....
Also like the details of what I believed to be solar cells.
