The Union Pacific serves PolyWest, a large plastics manufacturer (located to the west of Nevada State Drive) in the south-western corner of Henderson. Google Maps link

The Nevada Southern RR museum does say that ...

The Union Pacific abandoned the portion of the line from Boulder City to Henderson in 1985 and donated the land and track to the State of Nevada for this Nevada State Railroad Museum.

... but it seems likely that UP retains ownership of the tracks through most of Henderson up to the plastics plant.

When the PolyWest plant was proposed for zoning approval / construction in 2001, that site location was called the "eastern terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad" [presumably meaning in the Henderson area].

Texas-based Poly West, the nation's largest maker of trash bags, wants to build its fifth factory on 45 acres in southeast Henderson along the eastern terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad.
