Lincoln County

Lincoln County occupies the North Platte River valley of west-central Nebraska in the United States. Its county seat, North Platte, developed as a railroad town and remains defined by Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard, widely regarded as the world’s largest railroad classification yard. The Golden Spike Tower overlooks this vast working landscape, where freight traffic reflects the county’s role in transcontinental rail transport. Beyond the city, irrigated fields and open prairie follow the river corridor. During the Second World War, North Platte’s volunteer-run Canteen welcomed soldiers passing through by train, a local story still central to civic memory.
