  • THE LAST SPIKE IS DRIVEN! the PACIFIC RAILROAD IS COMPLETED! II the POINT of JUNCTION IS 1,086 MILES WEST of the MISSOURI RIVER, and 690 EAST of Vi SACRAMENTO CITY
    ATIONAL GOLDEN SPIKE CENTENNIAL COMMISSION OFFICIAL PUBLICATION MBPPP GOLDEN SP KE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION COMMISSION "What is past is prologue. ..." Shakespeare's words epitomize the spirit of the nation's railroads as they look to the challenges of the future while celebrating the centennial of an achievement that still stands as one of the great milestones in American history. That event was the completion of the first transcontinental railway system with the Driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory, Utah, on May 10, 1869. It was hailed at the time as an impossible dream come true. And, indeed, it was. Its significance was summarized by the late President John F. Kennedy when he said: "We need not read deeply into the history of the United States to become aware of the great and vital role which the railroads have played in the opening up and developing of this great nation. As our frontier moved westward, it was the railroads that bore the great tide of America to areas of new opportunities and new hopes." The railroad industry is justly proud of its past and its contribution to the growth, development and economic might of America. But, again, what's past is prologue. Railroadmen see vast changes occurring in their industry. Today — a hundred years from Promontory — the Iron Horse has lost most of his passen­ ger train glamour. But he's still the workhorse of the transportation stable, hauling almost as much freight as all the newer modes combined. New all-time freight records in 1968 are a significant keynote to the future in railroading.
