Golden Spike National Historical Park is a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the 19th-century railroad workers who connected a nation. Located in Utah, this historical park commemorates the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad, where the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met on May 10, 1869. The ceremonial driving of the last, golden spike marked an unprecedented achievement in transportation, uniting the country from coast to coast. Visitors can explore the original railroad grade, witness reenactments with replica locomotives, and delve into the stories that shaped this monumental event in American history.
