Rail Fest is a unique event that embodies many facets of the world of Railroading, including preservation, education, safety, entertainment, and many other rail oriented activities. Rail Fest also incorporates many dynamic exhibits, programs and displays designed to entertain and educate the public.
The three-day event celebrates the railroad history of the North Platte, home of Bailey Yard, the world’s largest railroad classification facility.
At Rail Fest, attendees can get an up-close view of how Union Pacific processes more than 150 trains and 10,000 rail cars a day. Free bus tours of Bailey Yard will offer the ultimate rail fan experience – the opportunity to see the scale and the efficiencies involved in processing so many trains a day. There is only one place in the world this happens and it’s Bailey Yard at North Platte.
