A fascinating collection of pictures showing rail connections at the Omaha stockyards a century ago.

Thanks to Charles Morrill on the handlaidtrack group for the link.

Notice the three-throw switch in picture 38.

The impressive building in the first picture is the Omaha Livestock Exchange, as new.

I noticed in the discussion on the current use of the building, the following comment: "This past July, our oldest son's wedding reception was held in the Livestock Exchange Building."

Losing a son and gaining a daughter? :D

Fascinating stuff, particularly the track details; the 3-way turnout in 38 and the diamond crossing in 29 caught the eye, amongst others.

cheers
Nigel
