Crossing History


This old locomotive crossing is about 50 yards East of the site where the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads met on May 10, 1869 to form the United States' First Transcontinental Railroad. The location in Utah's Promontory Summit is a rather desolate area today. Imagine what it must have been like nearly 140 years ago.
