Great history there. Thanks for posting. Steven Ambrose wrote a great book about the building of the railroad called Nothing Like It In The World: The Men Who Built The Transcontinental Railoroad.

Shot this in Promontory, Utah, this last August while we were on a drive to Seattle and back.  The site is right next to what looks like a major Northrup R&D facility.

Isn't this year 150 year anniversary?

Yes. Winchester made a commerative engraved 1866 rifle in 44-40 for it. Pretty good article in Guns of the Old West magazine
