Nice painting of a Canadian roundhouse. By the motive power represented, I'm guessing that it might be John Street CPR in Toronto, which is being semi-preserved as a brewery and rail museum. Any other guesses?

Notice the T.H.&B. steam generator car in the lower center of the photo. This was converted from an NYC J-1 Hudson tender. Whoever did the painting really did some good research.

This isn't a guess. It IS the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo roundhouse in Hamilton, Ontario. The TH&B was co-owned by Canadian Pacific and the New York Central.
