The book Bailey Yard And the story of a railroad town was compiled by the staff of the Golden Spike Tower about Union Pacific's history in North Platte and the present day yard. The book tells the story of how the Union Pacific Railroad formed the town that North Platte is today, and how important it is not only to North Platte, but to the entire Union Pacific system.
