The first mural to have graced the walls of the city was this one, entitled
Lacombe’s Train Station. Id depicts the old railway station with a pair of old steam locomotives at the station. This mural was the first of the first set of 20 murals showing what life was like in the town between 1890 and 1910. Across the street, in the laneway behind the Bank of Montreal, you’ll begin your journey through Lacombe in the Thirties. These panoramic murals cover 12,000 square feet of wall space and show main street businesses, diesel trains at the station and lots of cool old vintage cars.
This mural is on the back of the Mac’s building on 52nd Street. This mural is a bit hard to get good photos of as it's in a daycare playground surrounded by a rather tall chain link fence. If it is signed, the signature is likely behind some playground equipment.
