This sculpture is located adjacent to Tacoma's Lightrail Transit center near the Tacoma Dome and across the street from Freighthouse Square (a former Railroad building turned into a mall/commuter train station.)
It is created using a variety of found objects, mostly train parts, but also letters from signs, that are partially buried and scattered throughout the landscape. Above them is a bridge, fashioned as a railroad trestle, used by pedestrians to access the parking garage and view the piece as they walk by.
