The curves throughout this train station creates the implied illusion of movement. The railing keeps the viewer attention concentrated within the photo creating an illusion of a never-ending spiral.The Gestalt Law of continuum is in effect with the railing and linear perspective in this photo, drawing the viewer further towards the center of the photo adding to its composition. The variation of scales, from the people standing along the side of the road on the lower right of the photo to the end, communicate movement and change because of their relative size comparison to the facade out front.

The swooping shape of the semis on end creates the implied illusion of movement with Direction (curve derived from the circle shape) implying a rolling movement. First, with the reality of what doesn’t seem to be physically possible to achieve, with the semi balancing nose end, there is an expectation that the semi is going to roll over. Added to this, the implied motion one has when they see the curved shape of the Semi Tanks, the semi looks like it is going to roll over onto the crowd. Implied movement is also seen in the curvature of the tank spine which guides the viewers attention from the tail to the nose and vice versa.
