Poor attempt at modern art. I'd like to think Norwich could do a better tribute to it's rail history. Still some art is better than no art!

It's not really a train statue. Its modern art with a model train put on on the top by marriots way enthusiasts

Can be seen from the road along the walk way that was once the original railway line in this area. Made from red steel girders and a railway train silhouette running on the flat apex of the statue. Often overlooked but always visible this adds to Norwich's artistic appeal and talent.

As a senior member of Freinds of Norwich City station, I can confirm this is nothing to do with the former railway station that was present on this land until 1973 when the inner ring was built sweeping away the derelict station. This monument was originally placed on Duke Street, and was moved to it's current position when the multi story car park was rebuilt ..it has been in its current position for around 15 years, it is not made of any remains of the former railway station or former sections of rail as suggested by others, the small train on top of the monument is nothing to do with the Freinds of Norwich city station, and has been placed there by a third party who wishes to think its part of Norwich's railway heritage and of which we have taken the blame for it being there, as a railway presevationist I'd like to set the record straight on this monument..we strive to protect the remains of the former railway station, and this monument is not railway related in anyway esp as it wasn't erected there there in the first instance...

I am a bit biased towards this sculpture, as I sand blasted and painted it nearly 15 years ago for Norwich city council, before it was placed in it's current position. I was told by Norwich city council that the artist who designed it resides in Canada.

This statue marks the gateway to Marriotts Way, a 26 mile off road cycling and walking trail, leading all the way to Aylsham.

It's an ok statue by a busy roundabout. Well with following the Marriott's Way through to Wensum Park or Waterloo Park for a lovely little walk though.
