    Seeing an image like that you can't help but to think "was that a better time?" Very nice.

    Wow, that is a fabulous mural. At first I thought it was one of your photos that you had treated with texture!

    Now that's a nice mural. It is something that a city can be proud of! I sure wish we could return to rail travel in this country!

    Interesting to see a nostalgically realistic mural. Your fellow Ontario blogger in Toronto often shows very brightly colored murals in contemporary styles. Maybe it is the difference between city and country.

    An exceptional mural - very realistic. I'm sure it must have been based on a photograph so it's now gone full-circle.

    This mural is really beautiful and I can only imagine what railroads meant for the history of many towns there...
    God bless you!

    Railways played an important role in Canadian history. I almost feel as if I could walk right into this mural scene.
