North Platte: Bailey Yard and Buffalo Bill's Ranch
North Platte sits at the confluence of the North and South Platte Rivers in west-central Nebraska, roughly 280 miles west of Omaha along Interstate 80. The town was established in 1866 as a Union Pacific construction camp during the building of the transcontinental railroad. It has remained a railroad town ever since, and Bailey Yard on the western edge of the city is the largest railroad classification yard in the world, covering 2,850 acres and sorting roughly 14,000 cars per day.
William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, purchased a 4,000-acre ranch north of town in 1886 and named it Scout's Rest. The main house and barn are preserved as Buffalo Bill Ranch State Historical Park. Cody lived intermittently at the ranch for the rest of his life and used it as winter quarters for his Wild West show. The North Platte Canteen, operated during World War II at the Union Pacific depot, met an estimated six million service members with food, gifts, and hospitality between 1941 and 1946.
Union Pacific remains the largest employer in the city, with Bailey Yard alone employing over 2,500 workers. Great Plains Health operates the regional medical center. The Lincoln County Courthouse and a compact downtown district hold buildings from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cattle feedlots and irrigated corn production surround the community.
