Amongst the bits and pieces Feilding have managed to amass is a set of Overlander carriage seats, for one or a number of their big window cars. Feilding & Districts Steam Rail Depot, 3rd January 2014
The Overlander arrives at Hamilton Station diesel hauled, and hauled by a Maxx-blue DFB7348. Very rare to see a DFT on the Overlander these days, let alone one of the Maxx ones! Field Days train & trip to Waharoa with Ja 1275, 19 June 2010
Great Overland Station at 701 N. Kansas Avenue in Topeka Kansas. It opened January 27, 1927. The last passenger train left the station May 2, 1971. The building was later remodeled for railroad offices, abandoned in 1988, and damaged by fire in 1992.
It used to be the town's Union Pacific Depot.

And quite a nice pool it was. I spent several pleasant hours there, relaxing before the working part of the trip began.
Great Overland Station in Topeka, Kansas began as a Union Pacific railroad passenger station on January 27, 1927. Along the way, it survived floods, was remodeled for railroad offices, abandoned in 1988, and damaged by fire in 1992. Railroad Heritage, Inc. leased the building from the Union Pacific Railroad to prevent the building's demolition.
Union Pacific Corporation donated the station to Topeka Railroad Days, Inc. 6 years later, and the Great Overland Station Project Team was established to direct efforts to preserve the station and transform it into a railroad heritage museum. In June 2004, The Great Overland Station opened its doors.
The Great Overland Station is quite beautiful, and this is a spectacular special event space, but as of the beginning of 2006, Great Overland Station is still building toward its potential. When I visited the museum in 2006, there wasn't enough to make the Station a destination for anyone but serious train buffs. Other then the structure itself, the biggest attraction is the 100 or so freight trains that pass the building daily. Perhaps more can be done with Topeka's connection to the Harvey House restaurant chain.
Harvey House Luncheons and tours of the Great Overland Station are available to groups with advance reservations.
Overland conveyor systems are the most cost effective means of moving material from beginning to end.

Overland Corner, situated beside the Murray River, and once a convenient watering place and camp site for the overlanders and drovers operating between New South Wales and the colony based in Adelaide in the early 1800's. It was also the stopping place for paddle steamers working along the Murray River and coach passengers using the Adelaide to Wentworth route. The pub was built in 1859.
