Golden Spike Tower, North Platte, NE

We visited the Golden Spike Tower in the Bailey Yard, the world's largest railroad classification yard.  It is 8 miles long and about a mile wide.  Thousands of trains come through here; many come from coal country in Wyoming. 


The view from the 7th floor enclosed lookout.  It is an amazing sight to see.

A sample of  a service for one in the dining car.  Notice no glass or plastic, just linen, glass and ceramic.   A dining car had 14 employees, serving some 400 meals daily.
