Pershing Square features for its art a variety of 
		brightly lit tubing, neon and 
		otherwise, of which this view shows but a portion.  The 
		installation is entitled "Neon for Pershing Square Station," and was 
		created by Stephen Antonakos in 1993.  We are told that it 
		commemorates the nearby location of the first neon sign in the United 
		States, lit up in 1924. 
		 
		Part of an inbound train can be seen to the right.  It has but two 
		further stations to reach the Union Station terminal. |
