|
Union Pacific and Omaha Union Station tells of the development of all Union Pacific Railroad stations in the history of Omaha, Nebraska. Between 1866 and 1971, a succession of different station buildings reflected Omaha's growing importance as the nation's fourth-largest railroad center. Special detail is given to the peak years of rail passenger traffic through Omaha, which culminated in the construction of America's first Art Deco railroad terminal: the 1931 Omaha Union Station. Once served by seven railroads, Omaha Union Station is a story of the rise and fall of an architectural tribute to railroad majesty, and of its rebirth as today's Durham Western Heritage Museum. |

Praise for this book: "This is a well thought out, well presented history of the station in Omaha, including the Burlington Route station across the tracks from Union Station. ... This book is a good value, combining the scholarly treatment of a research piece with the easy-going style of the popular press." -- The Railroad Station |
