UP's Bailey Yard From Golden Spike Tower @ North Platte, NE

[@martinmax1589]

Wow, I'm fascinated! Never seen such a system!

[@Railhead1956]

Thank you for watching

[@iusetano]

WOW!!!!! You can cover a large area from that vantage point. Excellent video Peter.

[@Railhead1956]

Thank you Hans. Even from the 8th floor of the tower you can't see it all.

Bailey is a spectacular yard and as it should be since it is the world's largest rail yard. I loved railfanning around there, especially at Hershey west of North Platte where there were at times three trains crossing at once. Please tell me that in addition to this video, there are more railfan videos to come from UP's Overland Route in the area.

[@Railhead1956]

I have video from Hershey, North Platte, and Maxwell. There will be more.

Love how you got the SD90MAC’s! Those are not easy finds! Are there any of those things stored in this yard? I’d love to film one of possible.

[@Railhead1956]

Not sure which ones may be stowed or waiting new life

[@j.m.youngquist419]

Those would be 90 43's not Mac's

[@shawntolliver6485]

Where are all of the trains loaded?

[@Little-Oshawott-2010]

It's like a giant post office but instead of sorting mail and parcels it sorts freight cars.

[@Railhead1956]

That it is

[@daviddoughty9687]

You folks used to have a live camera here on a 24/7 basis. What happened to that camera. Was a PTZ cam I believe.

[@Railhead1956]

I'm not from there

[@schnuurtchke]

How many trains are built in terms of rail car type?

[@Railhead1956]

I don't know that answer

[@bobpaulino4714]

Here in Ohio there are several shirt lines that will pick up grainers at rural elevators, assemble a pretty substantial number of cars, then, through the use of interchange tracks or yards hand them off to class one railroads to continue their journey as a unit train.

[@TechEagers]

how these cars move without engine?

[@Railhead1956]

Their own weight

[@TechEagers]

@@Railhead1956so they dont go under control?i mean out ofthe rail

[@bobpaulino4714]

@@TechEagers the operator in the hump/ classification tower sets up the switches and can slow the cars, based on weight, using retarders, as they roll into designated tracks in the 'bowl' to make up outgoing trains.

[@TechEagers]

@@bobpaulino4714 thank you

[@bobpaulino4714]

@@TechEagers you are very welcome. Many railroads are going back to 'flat switching', stating that unless they are processing a very large number of railcars the humps are too costly to operate.
