This is a circa 1869 photo taken during the Golden Spike Ceremony in Utah in celebration of the first transcontinental railroad
The First Transcontinental Railroad (known originally as the \"Pacific Railroad\" and later as the \"Overland Route\") was a 1,907-mile (3,069 km) contiguous railroad line constructed in the United States between 1863 and 1869 west of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to connect the Pacific coast at San Francisco Bay with the existing Eastern U.S. rail network at Council Bluffs, Iowa
The rail line was built by three private companies: the original Western Pacific Railroad Company between Oakland and Sacramento, California (132 mi or 212 km), the Central Pacific Railroad Company of California eastward from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, Utah Territory (U.T.) (690 mi or 1,110 km), and the Union Pacific Railroad Company westward to Promontory Summit from the road\'s statutory Eastern terminus at Council Bluffs on the Eastern shore of the Missouri River opposite Omaha, Nebraska (1,085 mi or 1,746 km)
Opened for through traffic on May 10, 1869 with the ceremonial driving of the \"Last Spike\" (later often called the \"Golden Spike\") with a silver hammer at Promontory Summit, the road established a mechanized transcontinental transportation network that revolutionized the settlement and economy of the American West by bringing these western states and territories firmly and profitably into the \"Union\" and making goods and transportation much quicker, cheaper, and more flexible from coast to coast

Customer Service:

I am not in this for a \"fast buck.\" I genuinely love history and I love the photographs I sell, every single one of them.

I realized a long time ago, I\'m not just selling \"photos.\"

I\'m selling joy, happiness, sadness, misery, nostalgia, admiration, appreciation, interest, love, hate, and every other human emotion that are depicted in these photos or the emotions they invoke in you and/or the people who look at them.

Most photos depict more than one or will invoke more than one of the above emotions in you and the viewers of your photo.

You want to be treated courteously and respectfully. You want your item in the best possible condition in the fastest time possible. You want a responsive seller when you have needs who can take care of you before and after a sale (someone who doesn\'t just \"disappear\" on you after you already gave them your money)

As a seller, I give my oath to you, that I will do my best to fulfill all of the above.

It may sound cliche, and cheesy but I genuinely appreciate you and everyone who spends their hard earned money with me.

It does not matter whether you spend $1 or $1 million dollars with me, you will be treated and cared for to the fullest extent of my ability.

This is my promise to you.

Because I will do all I can to help you, please let me know if there is anything wrong, before you leave negative response.
