Train Station Murals

You are looking at “A Journey to Belmar.” This train station mural is stop #16 on the Belmar Treasure Trail. Designed by Delia King, it presents a stylized train trip along the

North Jersey Coast Line, seen from a slightly exaggerated, Belmar-centric viewpoint. The artist’s goal was to highlight the beauty and excitement of our unique beach community and also reflect the dedication of Belmar residents to overcoming ecological and property damage caused by Super Storm Sandy. The mural, completed in 2014, was painted on a synthetic textile “canvas” and then adhered to the specially-prepared wall of the New Jersey Transit station. Over 100 volunteers took part in painting and installing the mural, working under the direction of the artist. When you take a look across the tracks, you see another mural with mermaids and musical creatures that also brighten up the train station. This one was done by BAC volunteers in 2018.
