The statue rested just across the street from Old Town, and lay among shade trees.

Just beyond the sculpture a bench shared the shade of mature trees.

A plaque at the base of the statue described the man Theodore Dehone Judah. That plaque read in part:

That the West
may remember
Theodore Dehone Judah
Pioneer civil engineer and tireless advocate
of a Great Transcontinental Railroad
==America's First--

The date of the sculpture was specified in bronze and attached to the granite just above the plaque.

The face of Theodore Dehone Judah was framed in bronze leaves. Just to the right of the face was a chunk of railroad rail.

Above the face, and carved into the granite, was a scene composed of a railroad bridge spanning over a forest. Above the bridge was a railroad tunnel carved through solid rock.
