About SideTracked
This cache belongs to the SideTracked series. It is not designed to take you to a magical place with a breathtaking view. It's simply a cache-and-dash distraction for the weary public transport user, which can be found at or near train stations, former train stations, and miniature railroads. There are currently over 4,500 SideTracked caches in more than 30 countries around the world. More information can be found on the SideTracked series website.
If you are grabbing this cache and not aware of the fun multi now in play at this station and the other three new A Line stations as of September 2025, visit Riding the Rails Public Art Tour. Grab the clue off of the public art at this station and the others to collect the smiley upon your return to Pomona.
Since you are currently near the San Dimas Metro Station, here is some info about its public art.
Artist's Statement:
“San Dimas is nestled up against the hills and surrounded by nature. We wanted to capture its walking trails, parks, flora, fauna & local history. We felt the most effective art form to convey this was through bas-relief sculpture. Our final concept was inspired by walking sticks as they are symbolic of getting out into nature. Each of the four eight-foot-tall walking sticks is unique and portrays important aspects of San Dimas’s history, culture, flora, fauna adventure and exploration, providing a sense of place and time.”
--Eugene & Anne Olsen Daub
Project Description:
Sense of Place highlights the various parks, walking paths, natural wonders, and hiking trails throughout San Dimas and encourages exploration. Located on the platform are four large-scale bronze walking sticks inspired by the city’s bucolic surroundings and serving as an ageless symbol for the explorer in us all. Each are adorned with details that celebrate imagination and discovery, the natural environment, shared histories, and community. Seven hand sculpted bas-relief ceramic panels featuring creatures native to the region are located on the bases of the canopy columns, an homage to life dwelling within the surrounding foothills.
