Promontory Summit, Utah

Yesterday, I felt like it was May 10, 1869. I had the opportunity to visit the site where the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads met to complete the transcontinental railroad. The replicas of the two locomotives were operating and the area doesn't seem to have changed in 140 years. (However, rockets used for space travel are tested less than 10 miles from here.) The first photo shows Engine #119 of the Union Pacific.
Here in the second photo is a replica of the Jupitper, the Engine representing the Central Pacific Railroad.






In this third photo, I am sitting in for the Engineer on the Jupiter.
Hope you have a enjoyable Labor Day.
Regards, Gus
