Golden Spike Tower

Your group won’t find a better view of the Railroad than the Golden Spike Tower. It overlooks Bailey Yard, the largest Classification Railyard from 7 and 8 stories high! Groups will receive a welcome video to watch on your way to the tower to give a welcome of some of what the railroad represents. The tower houses numerous stories of the railroad over time, train displays, an amazing gift shop, and a courtyard that flies 23 flags representing the 23 states that Union Pacific serves. With 10-14,000 railcars passing through every 24-hours, you must see it to believe it!  Both guided and self-guided tours available.

*Upgrade your group experience to a Private Tour and Meal for a one-of-a-kind group experience.
