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

[@markharris3167]

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

[@hw6420]

Glad to revive some good memories!

[@philliplee980]

Cool I was there last week and it’s my first time there and it’s was great and fun glad dad and I went there

[@kobyschechter8163]

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.

Visited there this past spring, very impressive and I also got to see Big boy close up. The picture I took in now my welcome screen

[@garyolsen3409]

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

[@djavidianmx1832]

Love the non narrated videos. More like actually being there. Awesome vid

[@gracierose3076]

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

[@frankierailfan4014]

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

[@icosthop9998]

TY

[@mikaedelbeck6254]

Cool 😎

[@lynneurbanik8703]

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.

[@LonnyJay-vh4yg]

Yeah it has it's kind of nice huh

[@antonlewenhaupt357]

jag älskar union pacific

[@NorCaliRailroading2023]

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

[@bearabletable7527]

Im dumb but how come cars move independently?

[@CarlosEduardo-qx6mp]

Show

[@Dessme]

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 :)

[@Dessme]

@@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. 🤔

[@ronaldsummons6100]

too quiet

[@chrystalsmith8732]

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

[@anb7408]

Lots of empty tracks there now, thanks to Obama's War on Coal. I was last there in 2010, and the yard was full of coal trains being refueled, inspected, etc. it's a sad sight now, given what it once was.

[@hw6420]

As much as I love trains and busy tracks, coal is the worst load to mine and burn...warming and killing our planet makes no sense.

[@isengarde9490]

On one hand..ooh trains! On the other hand...awww, not steam engines.. I'm sorry, but diesel locomotives look like bricks on wheels. And they're all derivative of each other, no unique quirk that other engines don't have aside from a slightly better or worse acceleration time.
