Shops Union Pacific Railroad Shops When the Union Pacific Railroad Company began the construction of its road, shops were established here in a small way. The investment has been gradually increased, as the needs of the railroad required, until $2,510,000 have been expended in machinery and buildings, and now about sixty acres of ground are covered by the buildings, in which are carried on all the industries connected with shops of this character; the plant being the largest and most complete of its kind west of Chicago. The number of men employed, January 1, 1893, was 1,385, and the average number for the year 1892 was 1, 318. The wages paid during the year to employees of the shops was $1,377,226, and average per month of nearly $115,000. The value of the output will aggregate more than $3,750,000, which includes the building of sixteen locomotives and the repairing of 250; the building and repairing of 5,911 freight and 250 passenger cars. Over 6,000 tons of castings are made, used and shipped to the other shops of the railroad system. The furnaces used 12,150 tons of coal during the year. J. H. McConnell is the superintendent of motive power and machinery; J. H. Manning, division master mechanic; A. M. Collett, general foreman car department; O. E. Gugler, foreman of the shops; Edward Richelieu of the foundries, and A. A. Gibson of the blacksmith shop. The location of these shops at Omaha adds fully 7,000 persons to its population. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
