Formerly Omaha National Bank, the Kutak Rock building is a gorgeously preserved historical treasure trove of architecture and art.
Behind that building is First National Bank Tower, the tallest building in Omaha, 45-story. Woodmen, pic not seen here, had been the tallest, 30 stories, for over 30 years, until 2002.
Locomotives await work at Union Pacific’s Omaha Shops in May 1984, including Western Pacific GP40 No. 3503. A couple of strings of no longer needed cabooses are in the background, as is UP’s former headquarters building that is just to the left of the flag pole. This entire 100-acre shop complex, a major overhaul and maintenance facility for the railroad, was closed in 1988 and demolished soon after. You wouldn’t recognize this site today—it’s the location of CenturyLink Center Omaha arena and convention center.
