Ghost Train is one of four pieces that artist Ron Baird created for Mount Pleasant Village Square as a tribute to Canadian Pacific Railway. The square contains a skating rink in the winter, and a weekly farmer's market in the summer, as well as a playground, and library, with an incorporated historic CPR station, and an attached school.
The square is surrounded by housing and adjacent to the Mount Pleasant GO Station - local commuter rail.
