{4K} 33 Minutes of action in Union Pacific's Bailey Yard! The biggest train yard in the world!

I shot for several days in North Platte around the Bailey Yard, including from the iconic Golden Spike Tower, and this is a long mix of great action! The number of locos is staggering, as are the variety and types of freight cars. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more UP content coming soon!

Great video. Visited North Platte this summer and your video brings back memories of a great week's railfanning. Thanks!

Glad to revive some good memories!

I love seeing all of those U P locos. I grew up in the western Rockies and to me railroads were U P.

As a train lover and new railroad worker (Metro North Railroad) I would love to see Bailey Yard one day. That place is freaking MASSIVE. Metro North is a passenger railroad under the Metropolitan Transportation Authority or MTA for short and we operate in NY and CT.

I didn't know North Platte had this main yard. My Grandpa worked for the U.P. in GI

I find this rather relaxing to watch , however I guess for all those working there in the yard it's just well another boring day on the job. Lol.

[@frankierailfan4014]

Hey I was there too! We might’ve seen each other without knowing

[@NorCaliRailroading2023]

I didn't know until now that 140 freights a day go through or in and out of baily yard

But can this yard accomodate kilometers long train cars?

[@hw6420]

If you mean can it store a 1000m train in one siding, then probably yes. But it depends if it’s being broken down for humping etc. or if it’s a unit-train passing through. Go on google maps and you can trace how long the longest tracks are if ir curious :)

@@hw6420 I used to count the cars when a child and I remember counting 40+ cars which the yard accomodates. It is several kilometers long. But thinking of several kilometers of yard is hard. But who knows, there may be a yard of 10 km or so. 🤔

too quiet

Interesting and quite boring at the same time. Would be alot better If steam engines were there rather than diesels.
