North Platte is a must-visit for train enthusiasts, and the Cody Park Railroad Museum is a highlight. It boasts the world's only publicly displayed Challenger 3900 series steam locomotive, Number 3977, where visitors can climb into the engineer’s seat. You can also explore historic rail cars, including a mail car and caboose, filled with memorabilia from the golden age of rail travel. The museum also features Unit 6922, part of the largest diesel locomotive series ever built, with a combined 12,000 horsepower. Plus, the historic Hershey, NE rail depot adds to the experience with even more fascinating railroad artifacts.
