It is a UP yard and so that would eliminate the yard in Cheyene as being the largest UP yard in the country. There is a big boy displayed in a city park in Cheyenne. Cheyenne is a town of only 50,000 or so population so it has a bit of a small town friendly atmosphere. Also be sure to see BNSF as it crosses over the UP (former Colorado and Southern (part of the old CB&Q). If time permits head west over Sherman Hill. There's usually some serious railroadin' going on there!
