NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – Water from a broken pipe has forced closure of the Golden Spike Tower and Visitor Center at a rail yard in North Platte.
The pipe broke in the office area on Monday.
Executive director JoAnn Hoatson says repair workers have been called in. Hoatson says it’s unclear when the Golden Spike will reopen to the public, but she’s hoping that will happen by Dec. 5.
The 120-foot-tall tower overlooks Union Pacific’s Bailey Yard, which is believed to be the world’s largest rail yard. The tower contains educational and historical displays.
