The North Spike Tower

A panoramic view of the Union Pacific's Bailey Yard will greet you from the two observation decks of the Golden Spike Tower. The eighth story fully enclosed viewing platform offers a 360 degree view of Bailey Yard and the Platte River valley. The seventh floor platform is open-air. The Guinness Book of World Records ceretifies Bailey Yard as the largest railroad yard, with a mind-boggling array of more than 315 miles of tracks, accommodating more than 150 trains a day. Even someone who knew nothing about trains would be fascinated with this facility.
