Union Pacific Bailey Yard in North Platte, NE

This video is part of the "North Platte Bailey Yard Series". There will be 3 videos in this series. All videos will be of the Union Pacific Bailey Yard either from the Golden Spike Tower or the ground. A little about the Golden Spike tower, it's an 8 story building that is in the shape of a RR spike. You can visit the small museum on the first floor, and then take an elevator to the 7th or 8th level where you get a complete shot of the biggest Rail Yard in the country. It's just awesome and I would recommend this to anyone!

In this shot you see a pan of the yard. You can't see a couple parts because it's just so big. You also see cars being humped. Some big rail yards use humps as a quick and efficient way of sorting rail cars. This is just an awesome place and there is always activity. Hope you enjoy!

CSX built a new state of the art yard in Waycross , Ga. a number of years ago. That was their pride and joy, but you could put two of the Waycross yards in Bailey yard. Keep up the good work UP !!!
