We had only a 6 hr drive today and as we got our usual start at around 7:15 we were here in North Platte before 3:00. We checked out things to do in this area at an information center and picked two. Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard and an interesting antique mall.
Bailey Yard is the largest rail yard in the world with 312 miles of track and 766 switches. 125 trains and 12,000 rail cars are handled here daily. This is the visitor center tower that overlooks much of the yard.
The other place we went calls itself “The Bin” The owners rounded up several old wooden gran bins and converted them so each one is a little antique shop.
