May 16th, 2019: The Prism mural can be found perched at the edge of Cheakamus River near the Whistler Train Wreck suspension bridge. After you cross the bridge and approach Whistler Train Wreck you see an information board and the first two wrecked and marvellously painted boxcars. The one on the left has the beautiful Hidden Agenda mural painted inside, painted by Kups in 2011. On the boxcar on the right, and on other side you will find the beautiful mural of a cartoonish character staring at a prism.

The masked creature with horns is surrounded by bright, blue graffiti style lettering. The Prism mural is one of the original murals from 2011 that still remains intact. Whistler Train Wreck went from a curiously interesting, old train wreck site, to a brilliant collection of stunning murals during that one summer night in 2011. Located on a particularly beautiful stretch of Cheakamus River, the Whistler Train Wreck is a collection of seven boxcars that were craned into the forest here after derailing 72 years ago. Desperate to get the train tracks cleared after the boxcars jumped the rails and wedged in the rock cut nearby, a local logging company brought in a 35 tonne crane and yanked them into the forest. The boxcars lay in the forest here as junk for decades until they were brought to life by local artists that turned the train wrecks into beautiful works of art. Though most of the original murals have been painted over, some remain, and new murals appear occasionally.
The Whistler Train Wreck bridge takes you across Cheakamus River and the first of seven wrecked train cars. The first boxcar you come to has the wonderful Kups Hidden Agenda mural inside.
