This station is truly an intermodal station, where city bus, light rail, heavy rail, Amtrak and Greyhound all converge. And so it seems fitting that in a place where so much traveling is being done, a great piece (or pieces) of sculpture would find such a fitting home!
Scattered throughout the entire Salt Lake Central Station complex, these interesting individual pieces of sculpture reside in total harmony with the surrounding environment. They represent a convergence of traveling public (suitcases) and a natural phenomena in the Utah desert of mysteriously moving rocks.
These are quite interesting to see, and well-worth a visit if you're ever in downtown Salt Lake City . . .
