You will get it. Adding in syncopation to a song like Freight Train is where it gets tricky. You will reach a point where your thumb is almost on auto-pilot and it will get simpler. I am learning this style of music on guitar too, at 58. I don’t have the benefit of a lifetime of playing on a different instrument like you do and we share being older, but I do have the knowledge that I can do it through perseverance, and I have faith that you can too.
