Stockton Flyer, Kinetic sculpture in High Street, Stockton-on-Tees, England.
The Stockton Flyer emerges from a stone plinth every afternoon, reaching a height of seven meters while producing steam and mechanical movements.
Commissioned in 2013 and unveiled in 2016, this mechanical creation pays tribute to the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the first passenger line of 1825.
The stone base incorporates 'The Infinite Town' poem by Mark Robinson, connecting the mechanical display with local literary expressions.
Visitors can observe the daily mechanical performance at 1:06 PM, which includes movement sequences, steam effects, and whistle sounds lasting fifteen minutes.
The sculpture's exact arrival time replicates the recorded delay of the original Locomotion No. 1 train that first arrived in Stockton in 1825.
