The interurban station in Bellevue is now a home - on original site with
some modifications (and I'd bet most thought the CB&Q Bellevue station was
the only extant RR building in town). I've heard that a flag stop
station/shelter from the Ft. Crook (now Offutt AFB) line was also still
around, but was unable to locate it when I lived there.
There are a number of extant O&CBS structures still around the Omaha area as
well.
