I don't know if you meant the humor but I think this is one of the funniest photos and title. Comp is different and makes it difficult to find the main subject. However, great tones and clarity.

Came back to this one, but I think I feel about the same way about the picture... It's interesting that there is a reflection there, but I don't really think it adds anything to the picture. The unbalanced nature of the two puddles doesn't help either. Additionally, the angle of view on the train is somewhat less than best... Lots of nice detail, but I would have preferred a more dramatic angle, and a bit more flair, be it for nostalgia or simply for making the major elements of the picture more clear.

I think I would have cropped it differently. Don't think the bottom puddle adds anything to your shot IMHO.
