## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Union Pacific Harriman Dispatch Center (HDC) is Union Pacific's rail traffic control headquarters. Also known as "The Bunker", it monitors trains, track and switches across the United States. The dispatch center is located at 850 Jones Street in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska, and is built inside an old Union Pacific freight depot that was built in 1891 and sold in 1897. The building was redeveloped in the late 1980s with a bunker made of 18-24 inch steel reinforced concrete that is designed to withstand a direct tornado strike.
