The soaring art deco Union Station train depot is a sight to behold with its cathedral windows, geometric chandeliers, ornate ceilings and reliefs of railroad workers carved into the facade. It houses a fine museum covering local history from the Lewis and Clark expedition to the Omaha stockyards and the trains that once called here. The soda fountain still serves hot dogs and phosphate sodas.
