This picture of Bailey Yard was taken from the seventh floor of the Golden Spike Tower on 1249 North Homestead Road in North Platte, Nebraska. Bailey Yard covers 2,850 acres with over eight (8) miles in length and two (2) miles in width making it the largest railroad classification yard in the world. Every 24 hour time period, 10,000 railroad cars move through Bailey Yard utilizing the 315 miles of track. It would be nice to be able to tour this facility!
glad we use the trains that much...very interesting...
