Ride the Sky

Ride the Sky by artist Arthur Haywood is located on a stairwell entrance to the Suburban Station public transit concourse in Center City Philadelphia.The artist’s goal was to show the excitement that people have in riding trains, and the excitement of the journey. Art deco patterns reference the original architecture of Suburban Station, and the steam train references the era of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
