Hi Sky,
a superb presentation, kind of from Agatha Christie's novel about the Orient Express. Lovely atmosphere, I wish I could be there, actually this trip across the Siberia stands on my travel list at very high priority to make it happen. I wish you could describe more in detail the experience after the completion of your travel. So, keep in touch. Great light management and the image format suits nicely the scene.
Thanks for sharing this amazing scene !!!
Cheers

Hi
What I really like about this shot, is the warm light shining out from the open doors of the train, how inviting this is within the grey cold of the rest of the frame. Excellent picture from an intriguing location.

hi Sky
We feel the cold air during the train stop in the station, and I like the warm orange areas of the doors entrance contrasting so well with the overall grey aspect.
Nice perspective
Cheers
