"Railroaders, Ranchers & Thieves"
North Platte Cemetery Tour |
| This tour will take place during Railfest. In an effort to help celebrate the 150th
anniversary of the Union Pacific, the "ghosts" on this tour will be from North Platte's
Railroading past. Plus we threw in a little intrigue with one or two criminals and
some of North Platte's pioneering ranchers. |
