This mural on a utility box in the Parkdale neighbourhood is a tribute to the Grand Trunk Railway which ran on tracks through this area. The Grand Trunk Railway operated from 1852 to 1923 and connected the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario and also ran into several of the American states along our border. The artist for this one is Lula Lumaj.

...we must have ESP, I photographed a train mural yesterday!
Love the style of this one Pat, and the content too.. trains are always a good idea ✨
I like it too! We could certainly use more trains down here.
Great!
Have a wonderful week!
I always like these. So much better than the gray or green utility boxes.
Such a bright and pretty utility box. Thanks for contributing Pat.
Hello, I like the painted utility boxes. The train mural is great. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and week ahead.
Informative AND fun, Pat!
I like the mural!
It's very well done!
We need more murals of trains!
Fine mural using such an innocent drawing technique. Trains are an important part of all our past.
Absolutely wonderful.
i like this naive mural. Great picture
Nice train with a lot of wheels. I like it.
It's a beauty and well done.
This is great.
Love all the colours in it too.
All the best Jan
Neat.
Nice mural, and what a nice way to travel. (I've recently watched two versions of "Murder on the Orient Express," in which trains certainly outclass today's airline travel!)
Really nice!
Railways are another iconic part of Canada!
Cool, I like railroad related things! IN fact my next post may be about trains....
