| Asbee was impacted by the history of
the Wabash Station as began his design process. The
resulting sculpture depicts a train as it would have
been seen from the platform of the old depot and bears
the number of an actual locomotive that serviced the
Wabash Station. The number, 808, was selected so to read
from either side of the work, as bus riders come or go.
The building receives more than one million people
annually, making it an ideal location for this Percent
for Art project and the paintings by David Spear that
are featured in the interior of the building. *local artist
