Near the Five Points intersection, Sycamore Station recognizes native California Sycamore trees and describes the history of surface transportation in Whittier, from wagons and trains to the railroad and the early automobiles that traveled along the path of a pre-Whittier Boulevard and the Camino Real.
The old railroad "Salt Lake Route" logo is displayed and the unique midth century teenage phenomenon of "cruising Whittier Boulevard" on Friday and Saturday nights is memorialized. The station ties into the Pickering Avenue and Whittier Boulevard railroad bridges, now a unique viewing point over Whittier Boulevard.
The City cares for the tree to ensure that it will continue to grace Whittier Boulevard for as long as possible with annual inspections, special fertilizer, and careful pest control.
Seedlings from the old tree have been cultivated by City staff for planting at Walnut Station to ensure the Paradox Hybrid Walnut will remain, even after the original tree is gone. Designed to resemble actual trees and flowers, the sculptures twirl and rotate at different speeds as a result of their individual construction.
The copper and stainless steel sculptures will develop an organic patina over the years, making them even more part of the natural environment of the Greenway.
