On May 10, 1869, the Transcontinental Railroad was completed at Promontory Summit in Northern Utah. To comemorate the event, a golden spike was driven into the rails and the famous photo of the two trains meeting was taken. Today marks 150 years since the railroad was complete.
I had the opportunity to participate in the 125th anniversary celebration. I was in Jr. High and our choir was invited to sing as part of the program. It was a great experience!
