On Monday morning, June 15th, the crew of Brad Matthews Construction in Lincoln began the task of relocating the Railsplitter Covered Wagon to the Welcome Garden downtown. The first step was to remove the split rail fencing around the wagon and then remove its wheels.

On Tuesday (today), the wagon is expected to be loaded onto a trailer and delivered to the garden, where reconstruction will begin.

Lincoln Daily News will follow the progress and offer full coverage when the new installation is completed.
