UP Bailey Yard in North Platte, NE

This clip was taken at the Bailey yard rail fan visitors platform.

The yard is huge & with great respect to UP, they placed a platform there for rail fans to visit & learn about the history of the yard.

Toward the end of the clip you can see the top of the "Hump".

Enjoy!

Nice! I wonder if this platform is still here now that the Golden Spike Tower is there.

[hoolg]

I;m not sure but I believe the old platform was removed and replaced by the GST.

My Grandpa used to work at Bailey Yard. Many fond memories of that place.

Yes the platform is gone and the tower is now where the platform was. Essentially the platform is still there, just now 70 feet up. It's awesome. Way to go Golden Spike Tower team!
