Traveling Man, Deep Ellum,TX.There's a popular Dallas folktale that goes like this:
An old locomotive lay buried beneath an elm tree, until one night a splash of gin spilled onto the roots, giving life to the locomotive. The locomotive transformed into a robot, emerging from the ground where three birds stood. Once above ground, he sat, guitar in hand, waiting on a train. Eventually, he grew restless enough that he stood tall with his avian friends and began walking toward the rail line. He is Walking Tall, 38 feet (12 m) in height, weighs 35,000 pounds
