FamxplorGolden Spike Tower
What to expect
The Golden Spike Tower is a great place for families to visit, offering a unique view of the Bailey Yard, the World's Largest Classification Rail Yard. From the tower's two observation decks, visitors can watch the action as the crews of Union Pacific Railroad sort and connect over 10,000 rail cars a day. The tower also features a large gift store, an outdoor flag walk, and interactive kiosks that explain how the hump yard works. The facility is family-friendly and ADA compliant, making it accessible to all visitors. Visitors can also enjoy the trains and learn about the railroad's operations from guides who have worked on Bailey Yard

Nebraska – October 9-16
Activities: We went to the Golden Spike Tower for an exceptional view of the world's largest railway interchange! The exhibitions related two exciting historical aspects: railway canteens during World War II and the Orphan Trains. The story of the Orphan Trains was particularly moving
Highlights: We were very touched by the moving video about the Orphan Trains. The kids were also fascinated by the mechanical octopus that is the railway interchange ✨
