Rail Fest is an annual celebration of North Platte’s spirit and origins - as railroad and western heritages come together for three fun-filled days of community events & entertainment. The celebration is held in North Platte’s Historic Original Town area in and around Cody Park at the junction of Highways 83 & 30. Rail Fest 2008 has been scheduled for Sept. 19, 20 and 21. Make plans now to join us for an exciting weekend of events!


The Original Town Association voted to make Rail Fest 2008 be a “zero-waste” event, “Following the lead given by the Union Pacific Railroad..."



The Union Pacific Railroad provides much support to Rail Fest Events and Tours. Thanks to UPR we're able to provide a great event line up...



Avid rail road fans will have 3 days of railroad fun.  From Railroad Training to heavy equipment that can move mountains.  The railroad fan is in for a treat...
