  • Join us as we explore the Transcontinental Railroad Trail and the Golden Spike Auto Tour. We travel the invisible rails that connected America's East and West Coasts in 1869, marking the beginning of American national economic prosperity. Experience this National Historic Trail and hear stories of how a mostly immigrant workforce built 1776 miles of track by hand. The Transcontinental Railroad made travel more affordable and opened up America's West to the rest of the country and the world. It's sobering to see that only traces remain of the people and towns that existed then and made this huge feat a reality. This National Historic Trail changed history and continues to impact the lives of Americans today. This trail is for explorers with all vehicle types.

    The two sections graded passed each other near Promentory Summit.

      Correct, you can still see them. One Coming down the mountain the other Coming up.

      Long read but found some more. The grading crews past each other and continued over 20 miles. Then both companies ran parallel lines for 200 miles.
      Each railroad had its own interpretation of the 1866 Act, and advanced construction forces blew past each other. UP surveyed a line as far west as Humboldt Wells (now Wells), and CP surveys extended to the east end of Echo Canyon. By fall/early winter of 1868, graders from both railroads passed each other on the north shore of the Great Salt Lake. The two railroads eventually built nearly complete parallel and in some places crossing grades between Monument Point and Ogden, and UP built pieces of grade as far west as Humboldt Wells.
      - 9 April 1869- with track layers rapidly approaching each other, the railroads finally compromise. Huntington of the CP and Dodge of the UP hammer out an agreement, under which the railroads will meet at Promontory Summit, after which CP will purchase UP’s completed line from Promontory to Ogden. Congress approves the deal on 10 April 1869. UP orders its crews to stop all work west of Promontory the next day, and CP stopped all grading work east of Promontory on 14 April. The rails met at Promontory on 10 May 1869, and CP completed purchasing the line into Ogden in September 1869. All told, the railroads built a little over 200 miles of parallel grade (about half completed, the rest preliminary or patchword), wasting over a million dollars.

    What an awesome episode. Absolutely nothing 'corny' about being proud to be an American..the greatest country to ever exist. We are so blessed with this magnificent land, the pioneering spirit, the rugged individualism and the belief that we are all made equal from our Creator. I am right there with you.

    What tonneau cover system are you running now and what is the distance between your T slots for a rack system and roof top tent. I am looking to upgrade and want to make sure my rack would fit. Any info would help.

    • @TremorTrails
      @TremorTrails  10 месяцев назад

      Retrax pro xr with the optional t slot sides. I'm not sure on size. I went with a Uptop Overland rack because they make them for the retrax system.

      @robertf3340 it starts on Pilot mtn road out in the desert. Use Onx it will get you there. We didn't camp we just went straight through. You can camp if you want. The trail is about 4.5 hours.
