My World Tuesday

These painted railway boxcars sit on unused track across from the Woodstock Via Rail Train Station. They were painted in the summer of 2007 but I'll be darned if I can locate more information about who painted them.

This mural portrays the agricultural heritage of Oxford County as well as an old steam engine.
This car appears to be full of cows and pigs - livestock mainstays in local agriculture.
And finally, this one portrays travel of the future - including spaceships....okay......

Please visit That's My World for more perspectives.

    Interesting paintings, great shots! Have they been there for a long time? Don't we find intriguing things in "our world"?

    Someone went to a lot of work to paint those box cars. I like the bright colours.

    Interesting rail car paintings, much better than just rusting hulks sitting there.
