The Union Pacific Museum is housed in the former Carnegie Free Public Library in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The structure was built in the early 1900s.

Union Pacific C Museum tells story of train travel in US

BY TERRY TURNER‌

Terry Turner photos

OUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa – The Carnegie Free Public Library in Council Bluffs was built in the early 1900s. About 100 years later the library moved to a new facility, and almost immediately efforts began to remodel the Carnegie building for the Union Pacific Railroad’s extensive collection of railroad memorabilia and artifacts.

Local government, private business, friends of the Carnegie Cultural Museum and Union Pacific joined forces to create the Union Pacific Railroad Museum. The arrangement was the city would lease the building to Union Pacific, who would pay for the upkeep of the building. The Friends of the Museum raised the original construction and renovation

funds and now supplies museum volunteers and finances the maintenance and upgrades to the museum’s exhibits.

The Union Pacific Railroad Museum opened on May 10, 2003, which was also the 134th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad. The museum tells the story of Union Pacific and train travel in the United States.

Exhibits and interactive displays allow visitors to experience what train travel was like decades ago.

The exhibits highlight the destinations Americans have enjoyed since the 1930s.

Abraham Lincoln is featured prominently in the museum with artifacts and displays relating to his life and his relationship with railroads and specifically Union Pacific. At the height of the Civil War President Lincoln searched for a way to physically connect the nation. He quickly realized it could be done with a transcontinental railroad. Lincoln also realized the railroad would play a significant role in winning the Civil War. The Pacific Railway Act of 1862 gave the work of building the railroad to two companies: Central Pacific, an existing California railroad, and a new railroad chartered by the Act itself – Union Pacific. On display at the museum is one of three ceremonial Golden Spikes used on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah, during a ceremony celebrating the completion of the transcontinental railroad.

Exhibits in the museum include the “Building America” display that occupies the entire first floor of the building. The exhibit tells the story of the construction of the transcontinental railroad through historic artifacts and hands-on activities.

One hands-on display shows how the railroad blasted its way through mountains of rock. Visitors can push the plunger on a dynamite box and hear a tremendous explosion.

The “Building America” exhibit also includes a detailed model of the Dale Creek Bridge that was a 650-foot span across Dale Creek in Wyoming. It was made entirely of wood and needed to support several hundred tons of railroad cars along with the steam engine. The bridge

If you go What: Union Pacific Railroad Museum.

Where: 200 Pearl St. in historic downtown Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Hours and Admission: Open Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

More Info: Visit the website at uprrmuseum.org or call (712) 329-8307.

Furniture and artifacts from the Transfer Hotel in Council Bluffs, Iowa, are on display at the museum. The hotel was built in 1878 and had 59 rooms elegantly furnished in walnut and pile carpets.

Visitors can walk through a simulated tunnel in the Union Pacific Museum.

Furniture from Abraham Lincoln’s rail car are on display at the museum.

was 160 feet above Dale Creek Canyon and reportedly swayed in the wind. Crossing the bridge was said to be “terrifying.”

One wall in the museum is cov-

ered with railroad lanterns and signals that show methods of communications on the railroad from the 19th century up until 1980.

Another display shows the advance-

ment in how train cars are coupled together. The original “link and pin” type required the conductor to get between cars and position the link and slip a pin into place. This dangerous job was eliminated with the introduction of the automatic coupler.

The museum has three railroad car replicas, a dining car, lounge car and coach car from the 1950s, for visitors to experience what traveling by rail was like back in the heyday of train travel. Nearby is a display case filled with over 300 pieces of the Union Pacific’s silver and fine china collection once used in dining cars.

A diesel engine simulator in the museum allows visitors a chance to experience what it’s like to operate a diesel engine as it moves along a track.

Terry’s Turn

My first car, ‘The Trap’ I was a senior in high school when I bought my first car. It took a while of working at an ice cream stand and in a cafeteria as a busboy in order to get enough money to buy a car, but I finally made it.

One Saturday with my pockets full of cash my buddy Roger and I went searching car lots and we ended up at a lot not too far from my house in North Omaha. There it was. The moment I saw it I knew

it was the car for me. It was a 1950 Ford, dark blue, two-door beauty. I was in love.

We dickered with the salesman and got him down to a price I could just barely afford and the blue beauty was mine. I couldn’t drive it home since I didn’t have my license yet so Roger got in and carefully drove it to my house where I washed and waxed my new car.

Just a few days later Jan, another

friend, was ready to take his test for a driver’s license and so we went together with his dad. I drove and Jan’s dad proceeded to criticize my driving skills all Terry Turner the way to the turnert185@outlook.com Department of Motor Vehicles. “Pick a lane and stay in it!” he yelled as I navigated the streets of Omaha. “Watch the speed limit!” he shouted. This tirade of criticism continued all the way to the testing station. By the time we got there I was a nervous wreck and convinced I was a terrible driver. But in spite of that I somehow managed to pass the test and get my license.

I pampered my new car and tried to take good care of it. At one point I decided to redo the upholstery to the then-popular tuck-and-roll design. It didn’t look too hard to do and since I couldn’t afford to take it to an upholstery shop I’d ask Mom if she could do it for me. She was always sewing anyway and it wouldn’t take much to make some of that cool tuck and roll for me. I’ll just take it to her a piece at a time and she’ll get it done in a jiffy.

I started with the passenger door panel. I took the handles off, pulled the panel and took it to Mom. I quickly learned that not only did she not have a heavy duty machine to do it with she had no idea how to work with upholstery. So I put the panel back. I was about to reinstall the door handle when I was struck by the thought that if I ever did get a girl to ride with me in my new car and if I left that handle off she could get in but she couldn’t get out. That was my evil plan anyway.

But like many of my evil plans this one didn’t work out either. If I did manage to get a girl in the

I pampered my new car and tried to take good care of it. At one point I decided to redo the upholstery to the then-popular tuck-and-roll design. car she would almost immediately ask, “Where’s the door handle?” I’d sheepishly pull it out of the glove compartment and reinstall it and mutter an apology.

Even though my nefarious plan didn’t work out that missing door handle inspired the name for my car. Back then everyone’s car had a name and so mine became known far and wide as “The Trap.”

Although I tried to take good care of my precious car I did neglect a few things but it wasn’t my fault.

The only one in my family who owned a car was my older brother and he was in the Navy. Because of that I had no knowledge of the mechanical workings of a car.

I would always buy my gas from the same station and the old guy who ran the place would always ask me, “How’s old Henry doing?” At first I didn’t understand that he was talking about my car and the Henry referred to Henry Ford.

One time I pulled in for a dollar’s worth of gas and as always he asked about Henry and then cleaned the windshield and checked the oil.

Then he asked, “When was the last time you changed the oil?” My reply was, “Change the oil?” I had no idea that was a requirement. I learned a lot about cars after that.

My precious first car is long gone.

My mother sold it when I joined the Air Force but I often wish I could find another just like it. Maybe I’ll take the door handle off and…nah it didn’t work then and it won’t work now.
