Speaking of trains...
In 1863 the Union Pacific RR began construction from Omaha, Nebr., while the Central Pacific broke ground at Sacramento, Calif. The two lines met at Promontory Summit, Utah, and on May 10, 1869, a golden spike joined the two railways, thus completing the first transcontinental railroad.

Awesome history. Awesome.
I absolutely love history... If is wasn't for modern medicine and indoor plumbing, I would think I was born in the wrong time...LOL
