Certified by Guinness, Union Pacific's Bailey Yard in North Platte is the largest railroad hub in the world. The Golden Spike Tower, eight stories in height, gives a panoramic view of the 3,000 acre yard, a network of 315 miles of train track, and views of Nebraska's broad Platte River Valley. This enormous yard sees 150 trains per day, sorts 3,000 railcars and houses one of the largest locomotive repair centers in America.
     The Golden Spike Tower, seen from miles around North Platte, is a one-of-a-kind observation tower. The seventh floor features an open air deck. At the top, the tower features a fully enclosed, 360 degree observation room. The visitor center on the ground floor houses a souvenir shop and a variety of educational displays.
