A mural planned for Southampton is well underway. The three dimensional mural will be mounted on the wall of Southampton Market that runs along Highway 21 as part of the Saugeen Rail Trail Association's "Trains to Ships" 25th Anniversary celebration.
The 1950s scene, designed by Artist Bert De Graaf, which also pays tribute to renowned muralist Allen Hilgendorf who passed away in 2013 and whose work can be seen throughout Grey and Bruce counties, will feature a steam train on the side of the market building, a former furniture factory, where the original Canadian National Railway spur lines ran.
An unveiling is planned for May 24 weekend.
