Golden Spike Tower planned

North Platte, NE, plans to build a 15-story Golden Spike Tower overlooking a railroad yard containing 10,000 freight cars near I-80. The tower will be railroad spike-shaped and covered with gold-enameled metal. Scheduled for completion in July 2000, it will further confuse the public about the Transcontinental Railroad.
