Union Pacific and Omaha Union Station tells the development of all Union Pacific Railroad passenger 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.
