Golden Spike National Historic Site at Promontory Point marks the spot where a revolutionary event took place: the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869. Replicas of the locomotives meeting on the intersection of the historic Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads are still used for reenactments of that momentous day. Thousands of visitors flock to Golden Spike National Historic Site every year to experience an era of innovation and achievement.
