Well it's getting there. The one thing distinctly perspective oriented paintings is that scale is unforgiving because every element relates to every other element. For example the tracks compared to the rest of the picture look extremely wide. But if you cover the left half of the picture the scale looks somewhat better. Anyway, it's sometimes good to do your drawing and maybe flip it horizontally (mirror image) and take a look to see if it's working both ways.
I can see perspective is your Mt. Everest issue. Keep going. If one doesn't see perspective naturally, one has to rely on the mechanical approach. No shame in that. But even at that one has to look at the mechanically plotted image and breathe natural life back into it to take the edge off. You have a good feel to this picture. Just that you're still fighting the perspective. I still suggest picking simpler subjects (perspective wise) and get those right and work your way up, building on one right line after the other so your foundation is right every step.
Anyway, the feel has a lot of heart. Nice color and all. I can see you're a natural artist. But now the technique has to come up farther to allow you to execute those 'stories'.
