ENTERPRISE — A metal train sculpture created by local artist Matt Clark will now greet visitors to Enterprise.

"We'll take St. George's leftovers any day," said Enterprise Mayor Brandon Humphries said on Thursday as he and a group of other workers and volunteers placed the locomotive engine and two cars on segmented rails atop a raised bed of rocks.

Up until this week, the sculpture had been on display on the grounds of the Zions Bank building in downtown St. George, as part of the "Art Around the Corner" collection showcasing metal sculptures by various local artists.

Clark's sculpture, known as "Dixie Express," is made of oxidized iron components welded together and consists of a locomotive pulling two smaller cars containing five whimsical stylized figures that are playing musical instruments.
