Facts and practical information

The Brick Train is a brick sculpture located on the outskirts of the town of Darlington, in the English county of Durham. The sculpture was created by David Mach in 1997 to celebrate the town's railway heritage, and is modelled on the steam locomotive Mallard, which set a UK rail speed record of 126 miles per hour in 1938. The locomotive is depicted as if just having exited a tunnel, with the billowing smoke typical of such an exit. ()
