I don't even try but I think there was a prior thread with fair comments. Looking at yours, and what I Usually see I think you are better off if the subject is square to your camera position and directly in front of you. From a photo point of view I think you need more than ballast to convey a sense of motion and good if train is on track nearest you. When I was going to try pan shots I found some tutorials online.
