| Post subject: | Omaha rail history preserved |
Due to recent reconstruction in Omaha, Ne, the last surviving piece of the horsecar trolley operation was due to be erased with rebuilding/demolition work on the 10th Street overpass in Omaha. Camerail Club President Dave Seidel and Camerail members Dr. Henry Nipper and Gary Smith were able to remove two sections of rail and cobblestone brick from one area thanks to a history minded construction boss and his employer. The bricks were numbered so as to permit a proper placement at a Museum location to be determined down the road. |
