Hidden in โ€œplaneโ€ sight inside the Suzanne and Walter Scott Great Hall is an architectโ€™s salute to air travel. Ever notice the propeller and wings etched into the benches?

Gilbert Stanley Underwood wanted to modernize some of the buildingโ€™s art deco elements when he designed Omahaโ€™s Union Station, which opened in 1931. To Underwood, an airplane signified power (like trains) but also the future of travel.

A legend rolled in yesterday โ€” Big Boy 4014 ๐Ÿš‚, marking its arrival with that unmistakable whistle! Anyone else get goosebumps at the sound?! ๐Ÿ™‹

It was incredible seeing the crowd outside Union Station today getting an up-close look at Big Boy โ€” and welcoming those who visited the museum. The vibrant energy at Union Station truly reminded us of its heyday as a bustling, train depot! โœจ

Tomorrow, No. 4014 departs for the next leg of its coast-to-coast tour celebrating Americaโ€™s 250th anniversary. Thank you, Union Pacific Railroad, for restoring this amazing piece of our nationโ€™s history and sharing it with train enthusiasts across the country! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
