Kenefick Park in Omaha, Nebraska, is a notable outdoor attraction that celebrates the region's rich railroad history. The park is named after John C. Kenefick, a prominent railroad executive, and is home to two of the largest locomotives ever built: the Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4023 and the Union Pacific Centennial No. 6900. These massive engines are displayed on a hill overlooking the Missouri River, providing visitors with both historical context and stunning views. The park also features informative plaques and exhibits that delve into the significance of the railroads in the development of Omaha and the American West.
