==Artwork== The wraparound cover photo for the album was taken at [[Sheffield Park railway station]] in [[Sussex]], approximately {{convert|30|mi||round = 5}} south of London on the [[Bluebell Railway]]. Photographer Ian Digby Ovens<ref>[http://albumlinernotes.com/site/mobile?url=http%3A%2F%2Falbumlinernotes.com%2FTumbleweed_Connection.html#2928] {{Dead link|date=August 2023|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> captured John (seated to the right in the photo but appearing to the left on the front cover, shown above) and Taupin (standing to the left, on the back cover) in front of the late-nineteenth-century station, to represent the album's rural Americana concept despite the English location. Additional photos were taken from the interior of a train on the line for the album liner notes and libretto. In August 2020, the Bluebell Railway announced that, to mark the 50th anniversary of the release of the album, it had restored the station to look as it did when the cover photo was taken, giving people an opportunity to re-create the scene in their own photos.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bluebell Railway Offers Elton John Fans Chance to Recreate Album Cover |url=https://www.bluebell-railway.com/news/bluebell-railway-offers-elton-john-fans-chance-to-recreate-album-cover/ |website=Bluebell Railway |date=19 August 2020 |access-date=2020-09-08}}</ref>
