The first move, from the Omaha shops area to where it sits now is because the new Qwest Center, which was put up so Omaha can have a professional NBA Basketball team I think, and hold many other event's. I liked it when it was there, at Kenefick Park. Then I could climb all over it. I used to get up on the sand domes and cab roof even! It seems VERY high up! Now it's all fenced in. I could get in if I wanted to, and I would like to, but it's too close to Tower B. Which even at night, the 4023 can easily be seen from the tower. Tower B is the yard tower by the way....Although the UP might not care, it's not even there's. Although they could call the cops on me...or send their own people after me.
I don't know what they plan to do with it. No one really looks at the 4023 or the 6900 now. U.P. did put up a new building or Museum, I thought the original plan was to move the two locomotives there?
