Included in the mural is Heinz's 1935 Chev Coupe at the corner gas pumps. Heinz is washing the windshield and his son Warren is pulling his wagon. Also in the mural are: the Merchant Bamk of Canada: and, Steam Engine #919, that frequented the village hauling in supplies and shipping out cattle and grain.
Only a portion of the mural is shown.
