Gene, a friend of mine draws with the paper flat on a desk in front of him and all of his drawings end up slanting to the right and with a consistent distortion. I think the drawings look fine to the artist when he's sitting down and the distortion becomes evident when you hold it vertically.

Maybe the solution is to put in some plumb lines and guide marks lightly in pencil before you get on the train.

I am impressed that you can draw like this - in ink! - without any underdrawing. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work. Have you tried those felt tip pens with a sharp point on one end and a soft, brush-like tip on the other? I used those when I drew a lot on trains several years ago.
