This print belongs to a serigraph series called "Transcendental Train Yard," collaborative works of visual art by Marta Sánchez and poetry in English and Spanish by Norma Elia Cantú. The series provides a look at the historical role of railroads, train workers, and travelers in Mexican American communities. Train yards occur throughout as symbols of hope, translocation, and trauma.
