About Waiting for the Train- Artist’s Note:
“Our Old Galt series explores some of the most iconic areas of our scenic downtown from unique vantage points. This view of one of Cambridge’s many landmark bridges is a Canadian Pacific Rail bridge that spans over the Grand River, dating back to the late 1880s, with revitalization/rebuild in what was presumed to be the 1930s. This will be a familiar sight to anyone who is a frequent visitor of the Grand Trunk Trail, the Cambridge Rowing Club, Galt Collegiate Institute alumni, or really - anyone who has taken a moment to look up and down the Grand from any of our scenic bridges. If you live in the area, you may hear the comforting sound of the trains occasionally rumbling through - not so much to be a nuisance, but enough to know you are home. As a university student in Kingston, Ontario, I realized that I missed a sound I’d never even known I’d heard - the sound of a late-evening train rumbling through and echoing up and down the river, its noise quietly dancing in through my bedroom window in West Galt. I now identify this sound as a part of home.”
