Anyone driving through Thorndale, Ontario will notice the mural painted on the east wall of the feed mill, facing the railroad track.

In 1999, Dick and Trudy Nieuwland commissioned London, Ontario artist, Fred Harrison to paint a railroad scene (on the original station site) as their way to help preserve the historical importance of the railway to the village of Thorndale.

This mural has become a Thorndale landmark marking the significant role the rail system played in early development and growth of Thorndale, as well as being the community’s lifeline.
