Good episode. Although I usually don't like Atlas or the episodes with him in them, I actually really enjoyed this episode. It has a great choreographed duel between Atlas and Astro Boy, there's a runaway train, suspense, action, etc. It's got so much crammed into just one episode. I honestly don't really have much to criticize except for two things, and they both concern Atlas.

First of all,

Second,

These feel like nitpicks, but the plot of the whole episode comes undone when you think about Atlas' motivation, or apparently lack thereof.

That being said, I still really liked this episode. I'd say it's probably in my top 5 Astro Boy episodes, if I ever made a list.

I'm simply convinced Atlas is one of the worst fighters ever. He's almost always outsmarted by or tricked by Astro's rather obvious schemes. The combat in this show just isn't feasible. I liked the concept of the autonomous super train, but I just don't know Atlas has to appear, Mustachio also briefly interrupts their duel, which was really poor of the writers.

Another runaway train and another battle with Atlas. Really nothing to comment on with this one, just a whole lot more of the same.
