Happy Golden Spike Day!

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!
