At Mt. Tremper Train Station, the sculptures are growing along the rails on 28 between Emerson and Phoenicia Diner. Drive by at 55 and Suprina Kenney's DNA seems to rotate. No speeding! Pull over and go face to face with Big Art. A glance at 65 ain't the real deal.

Check out the REX futuristic pedal power rail bikes and see more sculptures at the Phoenicia Train Station. Across the road is Babytoes: hand-painted wearable art by Lynn & Alan Fliegel.
