Review:
As you drive along Interstate 80, at the southwest end of the Lauritzen Gardens, you will be greeted with a big sign that says ‘Welcome to Nebraska” and two of the largest locomotives ever to belong to the Union Pacific Railroad - Union Pacific Big Boy #4023 and Union Pacific Centennial #6900. They are the largest steam locomotives in the world.
The locomotives are surrounded by Kenefick Park’s greenery – native plants and fields of grasses, seating areas, plazas, "canyon" stone walls, a grand staircase, interpretive signs, walkways and sculptures. The park was designed to portray the role of Union Pacific Railroad in the history of Omaha and the West.
