Nebraska City Burlington Depot Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Heartland Cacher: Archiving per BRE1" s note dated 10/06/2019 which says:

I was in the Nebraska City area today. This is one of the caches that I did not find. I even used a mirror to look under many things.

ALSO, TWO EMPLOYEES OF THE RESTAURANT INQUIRED WHAT I WAS DOING THERE. THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AT GZ. THEY REQUESTED THAT WHATEVER I WAS LOOKING FOR TO BE REMOVED FROM THIS LOCATION. THANKS.

I explained geocaching to them and that perhaps some cachers would be customers, but they still insisted that the cache be removed.

Thanks for your understanding

Geocache Description:

This is a 35 mm film container with a magnet in it. I did not get to evil with this do to this being a restaurant and you will need to use some stealth from the muggles. 


The introduction and expansion of the railroad to other areas of the state adversely impacted Nebraska City's status as a major river port and overland freighting center. The citizens of Nebraska City realized that in order to compete with other towns, their community needed passenger lines. In 1887 Burlington opened a passenger line between Omaha and Nebraska City. However, by 1910 many people in Nebraska City, seeing improvements made to railroad facilities in other towns, felt they were being slighted by Burlington because of the perceived inadequacy of the depot. The importance of having a larger modern depot played a duel role. First, it would allow for the accommodation of increased traffic. Also, the depot presented the first impression of a community to the passengers. After placing considerable pressure on the railroad, Burlington built a new depot for the community in 1912.
