Hopper mistrusted the big city and was only able to appreciate its vitality only when he reduced it to a slice of life. Hopper said his intention in this painting was to express the 'interest, curiosity, fear' one feels when enetering a strange city by train for the first time. the color accents on the two buildings at the right are striking.
