A mixed-media preliminary sketch of a busy train station with two people hugging in the foreground. Steam pours out of the train on the left, weaving in between the people gathered on the platform. The sketch is divided into a grid.

This poster coincided with an exhibition of works from the Owens Collection in the summer of 2005. This poster features Alex Colville’s Untitled (Sackville train station, sketch for student mural), c. 1941-42. The scene is filled with bustling patrons of all ages, some departing, others returning. This sketch, which Alex Colville completed as a Fine Arts student at Mount Allison University, is all that remains of the mural he designed for the Sackville train station.
