This painting continues the Theme Parks & Landmarks Collection of futuristic 'visitors' exploring our world after humans. It takes them to Toronto's iconic Union Station Railway depicted in its third and current construction which reopened in 1927. The downtown transit hub on Front Street, usually bustling with motor vehicles, commuters and tourists now sits empty and quiet, retaken by nature and rediscovered. Yet still standing strong and remembered.
