This train was stopped on the tracks right off Miracle Mile. It just so happened to have stopped right by an ice cream stand, LOL! I wanted to get a shot of the train with the ice cream stand but the bushes behind the stand wouldn't let me and the garbage cans from a side point just looked yucky.
I desaturated, adjusted the brightness and contrast, adjusted the colors to bright up the sepia tone, adjusted the brightness and contrast , then I softened it a bit and then used the lighting effect tool. There you have it. :)

I like the sepia tone a lot, but I'm not sure I would have burned the upper corners. I'm just not sure it adds anything, and it kind of pulls your focus.
I think this would look better in color - the old timey feel doesn't really suit the modern diesel engine, and color would show off the bright yellow and red UP paint scheme.
