Two of the greatest locomotives ever to power Union Pacific Railroad sit at Lauritzen Gardens property, highly visible to passersby on Interstate 80. On grand display are Centennial No. 6900 - the largest and most powerful diesel-electric locomotive ever built - and Big Boy No. 4023 - the world's largest steam locomotive.

Featuring several plazas, seating areas, a grand staircase, "canyon" stone walls, interpretive signage, sculpture and walkways, the park documents Union Pacific Railroad's role in the development of Omaha and the West.

The park bears the name of former Union Pacific Chairman and CEO John C. Kenefick, and is landscaped with native plants and grasses maintained by Lauritzen Gardens horticulture staff.

Kenefick Park is open to the public with no admission charged. Free parking is available at Lauritzen Gardens, and a sidewalk and stairway lead visitors from the parking lot to the park. Visitors can experience two attractions in one by paying admission to the garden and purchasing a tram tour ticket. The tram tours the garden's 100 acres - including a stop at Kenefick Park. Tram operation begins on the weekends in April and daily from May through October.


Thank-you for all your comments and viewing the video. I have other videos on my YouTube page.
