The original game was pretty short and was mostly long jump puzzles.

Xen was completely redesigned, and for the better I'd say. Black Mesa trims it down to just the important elements by cutting out the 'fluff'. The chapter in the original game was super long and repetitive. A good example is the On A Rail chapter as you mentioned. Some useless and repetitive aspects were altered or removed. While a large majority of the game is very close to the original, it improves certain aspects such as flow. If you want 'something as close to the spirit of the original game as possible', then just play the original Half Life. Personally, I have done multiple playthroughs without any mods.
