Abstract installation of old railroad boiler ends. The two pieces face each other on a grassy knoll. One piece is rectangular with rounded corners and a cut out rectangular window in the center. Attached to the bottom of the piece are two large chains which stretch across the ground and are attached at the other end to two metal balls. The balls are half buried in the ground. Surrounding the piece are small, buried "rocks" of metal. Across from the rectangular piece is a round piece, which stands in front of the buried balls. The piece resembles a round boiler plate and has large round pipes emanating from both sides. The pieces are made of iron and sit on concrete bases.
