Default Out Of Focus

Saw this shot on the local news and decided to recreate it myself. I think it was an intersting shot. 2 subjects. focused on the secondary subject, which made the main subject out of focus. i enjoy it. anything i coudl have do to enhance it any more?

The time is coming.....

Maybe you could increase the contrast a little bit? Just a suggestion. Nice shot!

decrease the aperture to get both in focus? take the picture during another time of day so the small portion of the sky isn't blown out? how about portrait orientation to get more of the tracks in the picture?
and i agree, bump up the contrast a tad.

I think napatom2005 wanted the sign to be in focus but not the train.
