The Sacramento Regional Transit District, or Sacramento RT, operates a three-line urban light rail mass transit network, serving portions of greater Sacramento, United States. The network consists of three lines, the Blue and Gold Lines that both opened in 1987 and the Green Line that opened in 2012; the 43-mile network serves over 56,800 passengers a day as of 2012, making it the 10th-largest light rail system in the United States in terms of ridership. The stations along the network are open-air structures featuring passenger canopies for protection from adverse weather. Twenty-six stations offer bus transfer services and eighteen have free park-and-ride lots with a total of 7,379 available parking spaces. Works of public art included at several stations were developed as part of the RT Public Art Program, represent an array of media including, sculptures and murals; each was commissioned to incorporate an identity and sense of place unique to the neighborhood surrounding the station. Light rail service began on March 12, 1987, with the opening of 13 stations between Watt/I-80 and 8th & O.

The second phase of the initial line opened on September 5, 1987, with 13 stations between Archives Plaza and Butterfield. In 1994, a pair of infill stations opened at 48th Street. Included as part of the network, both stations were deferred resulting from neighborhood opposition only to be built due to changing attitudes towards the rail project. In 1998, Mather Field / Mills opened at Rancho Cordova as the first extension to the original network; the District opened 17 stations as part of multiple expansion projects between 2003–2007, resulting in the construction of stations in Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, Gold River and Folsom. On June 15, 2012, 7th & Richards / Township 9 opened as the first new station constructed for the Green Line. Three additional stations were opened on the Blue Line on August 24, 2015, extending the line 4.3 miles to Cosumnes River College. Still in the conceptual phase of development, the Green Line will add 13 miles of track in connecting Downtown Sacramento with the Sacramento International Airport

The Beacon Light is a painting by J. M. W. Turner, it was given to the National Museum of Wales by the Davies sisters. For some time it is now accepted as authentic. Beacon Light was among a number of works that were said to have been given by Turner to his mistress, Mrs Booth, it was sold at Christie's by John Pound. In 1922, it was sold as a genuine Turner and the Davies sisters spent £2,625 to buy it. Following the death of Gwendoline Davies, it was among seven works by Turner that were donated to the National Museum of Wales. Shortly after the donation, doubts were raised about its authenticity and that of two other Turners donated by the sisters. Butlin and Joll dated the work to c. 1835-1840 and suggest that it is a fragment of a larger canvas'which has been worked on by a hand other than Turner's'. At that time, it was believed to depict the Needles on the Isle of Wight It was removed from display, but did appear in a 2007 exhibition, it returned to display in September 2012. It was featured on the BBC TV programme Fake or Fortune?

Scientific analysis showed that the paint used was consistent with Turner's known usage and that the same paint had been used for the whole of the picture. An X-ray showed. Philip Mould and Bendor Grosvenor were able to establish that the scene was near Margate and not on the Isle of Wight as had been believed; the evidence for the painting's authenticity was presented to Martin Butlin, the co-author of the Turner catalogue raisonné, who accepted that the work was genuine
