The central panels of this mural depict operations of CN Rail across Canada in all four seasons of the year. These central panels were installed in 2003. The mural was extended in 2006 with the addition of one more panel on each end, depicting railway installation in the past and the present. When first installed, the mural was on the north approach to the underpass. The Southwest Transitway was opened in April 2012, with Osborne Station located above Osborne Street and directly overtop of this mural. As a result, the lighting is now very poor and the mural is difficult to view in its entirety. It has been vandalized with graffiti in places.
