Today is National Train Day. Back in May 10, 1869, East and West were joined together when the “golden spike” was driven into the last railroad tie. Promontory Summit, Utah was the site of the event that changed America.  Central Pacific and Union Pacific railways joined 1,776 miles which created our nation?s first transcontinental railroad.

Trains transport much of America’s goods. Take a few moments to remember the people behind this industry!

Here are a couple of photos from the railroad crossing on County Road 15:
