Current Goal

I want to go to Promontory, UT and visit the site of the Golden Spike. There is a virtual at the site called "Golden Spike GC6FD7" Golden Spike

It is where the transcontinental railroad was connected.

The SP (Southern Pacific) wasn't there but the railroad that became the SP was there. It was the Central Pacific rr then and it is the SP now. The Central Pacific RR built from Sacramento, CA to Promontory, Utah (west to east). They built from 1863 to 1869 and built 690 miles of track through many mountain ranges and other tough terrain.

It would be great to be dropped in any of the "Making Tracks to Promontory" series of geocaches nearby the golden spike site. here is a link to #11 nearest to the Golden Spike Making Tracks to Promontory #11

About This Item

SP to the Golden Spike

I am a Southern Pacific Lines button attached to a cup of hot chocolate travel tag. I like both the Southern Pacific RR and a good cup of cocoa.

Dropped it a tad closer to its goal/Utah… it’ll hopefully get snagged by a responsible carrier from the TB hotel and delivered closer at the next drop!! Good luck!!
