If you love steam locomotives like I do, you MUST watch a couple videos of the Union Pacific's 150th year anniversary celebration estabhlishing America's first transcontinental railroad on May 10, 1886........the Golden Spike event. The first video link is of the newly restored UP Big Boy #4014 and UP #844 double heading to the May 10, 2019 celebration that occurred at Promontory Point, Utah. The second one has a short video of the ceremony hosted by the president of UP.
