Low EngagementHost a story time for children with your Mayor at a local library

On May 10, 1869, the last spike of the Transcontinental Railroad was ceremonially

driven into a polished laurel railroad tie at Promontory Summit, Utah, to commemorate

the joining of the rail lines built by the Central Pacific Railroad from the west, and the

Union Pacific Railroad from the east. The driving of the spike represented a new era in

connecting people, moving goods, and igniting America's progress. This single event

had the power to unify the nation, usher in a new era for travel, and help the United

States enter the Industrial Age and become a world power.
