In the heart of Venice, California, a project is underway to honor the invaluable contributions of Mexican and Mexican American railroad workers known as “Traqueros.” These unsung heroes played a pivotal role in constructing the Main Railroad Transportation System and the Pacific Electric Railway System in Los Angeles. The Traqueros Monument Project aims to commemorate their legacy and preserve Mexican American history in Venice.

The Monument:

Located at the Venice Windward Circle, the monument will serve as a timeless tribute to the resilience and dedication of the Traqueros. Renowned Mexican sculptor Jorge Marin has been entrusted with bringing this vision to life. Marin, known for his iconic “Alas de Mexico” (Wings of Mexico) angel wings, brings a unique blend of artistry and cultural resonance to the project.
