Union Pacific Railroad Omaha Shops Facility, Railroad maintenance facility in Downtown Omaha, United States
The Union Pacific Railroad Omaha Shops Facility extends across 100 acres at North 9th and Webster Streets, featuring multiple maintenance buildings and repair workshops.
The facility started operations in 1865 when the first locomotives arrived, growing into the principal maintenance center for Union Pacific until its closure in 1988.
The facility served as an innovation center where William R. McKeen Jr. developed the track motorcar in 1905, advancing railroad transportation technology.
The former industrial site now houses the CenturyLink Center following environmental cleanup efforts initiated by the City of Omaha in 1994.
The Great Flood of 1881 completely covered the facility with sediment from the Missouri River, temporarily halting all maintenance operations.
