Thanks, David!

Here's Theresa Southgate's interpretation in JAMA:

http://ebbs.english.vt.edu/hthl/etuds/brown/magritte.html

One very interesting part of it:

                "Magritte is also reminding viewers of the relation between
space
                and time, for, judging by the angle of steam, the train is
traveling
                at high speed through space, while the clock (the station
clock?)
                has its hands pointed forever to 12:48, AM or PM remaining
                unknown."

Incredibly, she miss reads the clock, which is fixed at 12:42 not 12:48!!!
Or does she!? It might be the cleverest part of her review. She is in a
different
frame of reference! It might be a sly acknowledgement, a nod and a wink, to
relativity.
