RE: [CBQ] CB&Q Station & Steam Locomotive in Lincoln NE

The 710 is still there, west of the old station. The haymarket waycar is coupled to the tender, but all the boxcars are now gone.

The station is still there, it is a visitor center, there are shops and I believe some rooms can be reserved for banquets, weddings, etc.  It is part of the Haymarket area.  I do not know what happened to the steam locomotive and other static displays as the tracks were pulled

Does anyone have an update & links to information on the fate of the Q station & locomotive in Lincoln, Nebraska ?

 

Gene told me last fall that the U of Nebraska was planning to demolish it for a sports complex.  

 

Larry saw something on Facebook about it, but I can not find it.  

 

Has this happened yet ?  

 

Where will the steam locomotive be relocated to ?  

 

Thanks in advance,

 

CB&Q Bill
