Summary
Step into the sky-high world of railroading at the Golden Spike Tower in North Platte, Nebraska—where you’ll soar 95 feet above the planet’s largest rail yard, Bailey Yard. Built in the ‘90s to spotlight Union Pacific’s colossal operations, this eight-story tower lets you witness trains being sorted, reassembled, and sent off across America. On the seventh floor, feel the rumble of engines and stroll through a courtyard lined with state flags—plus, buy your own commemorative brick. Inside, the Hall of Fame honors legends like Ed Bailey, William Jeffers, and even Buffalo Bill Cody. It’s not just a view—it’s a tribute to the heartbeat of America’s railroads.
