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.
National Register #02000492. Added in 2002.
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.

Unishipping
International Ltd was appointed to deliver a new turbo generator for the
biggest thermal power plant in Bulgaria. The cargo consisted of a stator
with weight 189 t, dimensions 5.96 x 4.14 x 4.26 m, a rotor with weight 48
t, dimensions 10.80 x 1.80 x 1.75 m, plus 20 cases with accessories. The
generator was supplied at Saint Petersburg Port, and loaded on m/v
Schillplate chartered by Unishipping to Varna Port. It was a big challenge
for port authorities in Varna, as this was the heaviest piece ever
discharged with their two 100 t mobile cranes.
From Varna the stator had to be loaded on an 18 axle trailer and delivered
in South Bulgaria. Unfortunately when cargo was discharged Unishipping was
informed by the consignee from the power plant that the old generator had
not yet been removed and they could not accept the new generator. Thus
Unishipping delivered all pieces, except the stator, which was stored at
quay in the port. The cargo was discharged more than two weeks prior to the
deadline and so the weather conditions were not in Unishippings favor. The
Varna region was frozen with temperature minus 20°C and was stopped up with
snow and ice. As such Unishipping had no time to lose and decided to proceed
with the overland transport. They hired a dumper, loaded with sand and salt,
in order to spread it before the convoy in the icy parts on the road and
convoy departed with three escort cars. After two days transit time the
stator was successfully delivered at job site. But Unishippings job was not
finished yet. The 18 axle convoy had to enter in the interior of the plant
where there was very limited space. Therefore the stator was lifted up on
elephant legs, the 18 axle trailer was dismantled and stator was reloaded on
a 12 axle trailer in order to reach the exact place in the plant.
