The weekly re-enactment at the Golden Spike Historic Site at Promontory, Utah.
The working rail line was little-used after a trestle bridge was built across the Great Salt Lake 110 years ago and the main line bypassed Promontory. The rail line through Promontory was pulled up for scrap during the Second World War.
Enough track was later put back down for the locomotives to operate at the historic site.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Neat that they reset enough track to do the re-enactments!!!
ReplyDeleteJust cynical enough to wonder how long before someone messes up the staging and runs one into the other.
ReplyDeleteIt's not as though they can get a lot of speed up on that track. Look at Promontory, UT on Google Earth or ay other such service and you'll see that there is barely enough track there for the reenactment.
ReplyDeleteFair enough, as Google does reveal...but as Murphy's Law provides, I certainly hope they have a backup.
ReplyDeleteBig drivers. Are they that big to overcome track irregularities in the early railbuilding? Or is it just relative to the overall smaller size of the loco?
