A heritage train that follows the Arkansas River through the bottom of the Royal Gorge, a slot in the Colorado granite about a thousand feet deep. The rails were laid in 1879 in a fight over a single canyon's worth of right-of-way. One stretch, the Hanging Bridge, still rides on girders bolted into the gorge walls where the rock was too tight for a roadbed. Two hours, twenty-four miles, no shoulders to pull off on. Most of the journey is spent looking up.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
