Union Pacific yard, North Platte, Nebraska
Back: The huge $3,500,000 Union Pacific retarder yard, where freight trains are rapidly assembled. This yard and more than 20 passenger trains daily, give meaning to the North Platte slogan, "On the Main Street of America."

The largest railyard in the U.S. (though I'm not sure if it was when this was taken; they'd probably have mentioned that. I doubt there are 20 passenger trains a day there anymore!); for more info:
