Hastings Train Depot

I rode a passenger train once in my life.  I am not talking about a tourist train, or a "scenic railway."

 I am talking the kind of passenger train that takes you from one location to another --

through the center of Nebraska.

 And we left from this Burlington train depot

in Hastings, Nebraska...

 ...almost 50 years ago.

I am glad that I made it back for a reunion.

 It was renovated in 2000

and turned into a lighting center.

Happily, it continues to be a centerpiece of the community.
