Narrative Description
Fort Worth artist Sedrick Huckaby's design for an artwork for the Stop Six Traffic Triangle is titled The Last Train. The
traffic triangle at Ramey and Stalcup in the Stop Six neighborhood will be transformed into a place to gather. The artwork
commemorates the history of the neighborhood as the sixth stop of the interurban rail system.
In the center of the space there will be a re-creation of a classic interurban train car, sitting on a simulated train track in
the center of the space. Figures — ambiguous portraits of members of the community — will be hand painted by the artist
onto the exterior of the train. The train will be the centerpiece of the welcoming plaza, a coppery "dazzling, shimmering
wonder." During the day its golden appearance will speak to the community's hopes for the future. During the evening,
lights from within the train will give it a warm, inner glow. The artist intends the train to symbolize a spiritual chariot that

has arrived to take earthly citizens to a heavenly place. The artwork is designed to be implemented in two Phases. There
is currently funding only for Phase I.
