About This Item

East Meets West TB

A "Golden Spike" was set in 1869 at Promotory Point Utah where the Union Pacic Railroad met the Central Pacific Railroad.  The spike was set by Leland Stanford.  It had huge significance in the development of the US as it created a path of commerce between the Established Eastern Cities and the growing States and Territories of the West.  The lines were an important passenger route until 1962 as long distance jet travel became economic.  The original spike was set with a silver hammer and was inscribed as follows:

  • The Pacific Railroad ground broken January 8, 1863, and completed May 8, 1869.
  • Directors of the C. P. R. R. of Cal. Hon. Leland Stanford. C. P. Huntington. E. B. Crocker. Mark Hopkins. A. P. Stanford. E. H. Miller Jr.
  • Officers. Hon. Leland Stanford. Presdt. C. P. Huntington Vice Presdt. E. B. Crocker. Atty. Mark Hopkins. Tresr. Chas Crocker Gen. Supdt. E. H. Miller Jr. Secty. S. S. Montague. Chief Engr.
  • May God continue the unity of our Country, as this Railroad unites the two great Oceans of the world. Presented by David Hewes San Francisco.[3]
