"It's really the people that hold up the tracks in all our societies," said Rios,"Tracks are metaphors for connections. You ride a train, and it takes you from A to B."The 2023 version illustrated the changes that have taken place since the first mural was painted. Rios said he had the three artists who helped him, paint blackened office windows to symbolize the demise of downtown offices due to the pandemic.
