From the Golden Spike Tower the 7th-floor open-air observation deck offered great views the of Union Pacific Railroad Bailey Yard and surrounding area. We enjoyed the 7th-floor open-air observation deck but the fully enclosed 8th floor of the Golden Spike Tower offers some additional information and exhibits. Although Tripadvisor has them listed separately, there is no separate attraction for tourists to visit he Bailey Yard. You view the Bailey Yard from the Golden Spike Tower.

Sometimes when you least expect it you run across an excellent small town museum such as this one. While the museum is there to tell the history of Lincoln County Nebraska, it tells an overall great story of history. As a geek I really enjoyed the extensive display of early telephone equipment. The area telling the story of the WWII canteen located in North Platte was interesting as well. Besides the museum there are several outdoor buildings restored to their vintage look in a small village setting. Nearby to the Buffalo Bill Ranch and a highly recommended stop if you are in the area.

Highly recommend taking the drive past the corn fields and the beautiful cows to this unique place. Carolyn at visitors center suggested we would really love it and we did.

The Cody Park Railroad Museum is one section of the larger recreational area of Cody Park. The trains on display are awesome. Walking through the interior of the train some of it is set up as the train was originally and some sections are set up as museum displays. There is also a small train depot museum there as well.
