First Batch of Streetcar Rail Arrives Downtown

March 5, 2026

The first batch of streetcar rail has arrived at 10th & Farnam Street. Dozens of 80-foot rail segments have been delivered via special, 100-foot semi-trucks (the most common trailer length is 53 feet). The rail is being stored in 3-foot piles on oak dunnage, a high-strength material used in rail and heavy-duty industrial storage. A few weeks after delivery, a specialized welding crew will visit Omaha to connect the 80-foot sections into 300- to 400-foot sections in preparation for installation.
