The Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads were officially
joined on May 10, 1869 at Promontory Point, Utah, with the driving
of a golden spike. This historic ceremony marked the completion of
the first transcontinental railroad. Spanning the Sierras and the
"Great American Desert," the tracks connected San Francisco to
Council Bluffs, Iowa. "A Great and Shining Road" is the exciting
story of a mammoth feat that called forth entrepreneurial daring,
financial wizardry, technological innovation, political courage and
chicanery, and the heroism of thousands of laborers.
