it is awesome! we had an amazing
Awesome view from the 8th floor observation deck of the largest switch yard in the world, 2 miles wide and 8 miles long with 64 sets of tracks on the eastbound side and 50 on the westbound side. Knowledgeable docents explain in great detail what is happening. Well worth a visit!
Friendly Staff and Volunteers. and pet friendly
Fun place to visit. Awesome views ftom the tower.
Great place to see the worlds largest switching yard. Plenty of parking for RV’s.
This is a really interesting place to visit! Friendly staff and people who know a lot about trains.
The most interesting part for me was watching “the hump”. It was so cool to see railroad cars rolling down the hump all by themselves on their way to hook up with a different train to travel to the next destination.
great views, friendly people, definitely worth doing more than once
