Apparently not the case, according to this report from KLTV: [www.kltv.com]
So it seems that the city had made previous inquires about acquiring the building, but had been placed "on hold" by UP, then UP demolished it without getting back to the city, citing employee turnover in Omaha. As my good friend Billy Bob would say, "@#$%& happens!"
