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.

I think I am finally in a good spot with my own creation of an Overlanding Rig made entirely out of LEGO. I did this buy purchasing sets 60115 and 60117, combining them, and then going crazy with it. I love it!
Some small tweaks left to do (mainly the green mudflap area), but this it where I will leave it for a while.

As the sun peaks through on an overcast day, a shabby looking NR46 leads Great Southern Rail's 2AM8 Overland to Melbourne seen here passing through Tailem Bend.

A very 'Overland themed' 5 minutes takes place in Lara as A66 & S306 race 707 Operations' up Grainlander from Quambatook (including 4 ex-Overland cars in tow) through Lara on their way to Melbourne as 8194. Only a few minutes later, NR106 plays catch-up on 1AM8 up JBR Overland from Adelaide. The two trains met in a running overtake several minutes after this photo near Manor. 7/3/21

The Overland Dairy grocery chain, based in the St. Louis area, has been defunct for years. Locally, they were often found attached to Target stores. This one--actually located in the suburb of Overland--still has the old logo on the side of the building, though it's now occupied by an Asian market called Wing Hing.
