Thomas Viaduct panoramic

This is a rough draft of the final, which I'm still working on. I'd like to remove the power lines, and the sky is still a little rough due to stitching and patching in additional sky (the projection I chose squeezed the image in the center, creating a black area at the top and bottom). In addition, I'm thinking of adding motion blur to the train cars. Also, the guy in the middle has got to go (I took a frame without him that I can patch in). What do you think?

The Thomas Viaduct was built in 1835. It's the only viaduct in the U.S. built on a curve, I believe. It's also one of the few viaducts still in use today. It now belongs to CSX.

This lithograph was drawn circa 1835.

My gut reaction would be to NOT blur the train...may look a little to flashy
