I understand it's already been moved across the mains and is surrounded by guards and chain link fence east of the downtown Amtrak station. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by spbed</i> <br /><br />Do you know where that park in Omaha is located[?] I will be in Omaha 2nd week May & would really want to see it & the Big Boy? Thanks for any help you give me. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />Just south of the Lauritzen Gardens overlooking I-80, the Missouri River valley, and BNSF's Gibson Yard. But the engines and tender might yet have to be placed at the permanent display location. In fact, the last time I say the Big Boy #4023 about three days ago it was still on the trailer that moved it. <br /> <br />To get to Lauritzen Gardens, take I-80 to the 13th Street exit, then north about 1/4 mile to Bancroft Street, turn right and go about 1/2 mile to enter the parking lot. The crew and equipment will be to the right.
