Golden Spike Transcontinental Railroad Locomotive Train color photo

Description: An original period image restored and tinted by internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. If not requested when placing your order your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Golden Spike – Completion of Transcontinental Railroad, May 10, 1869 “Done” – Telegraph message triggering celebrations On May 10, 1869, the ceremonial placement of a golden spike completed the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Travel from the East to West Coast by railroad became possible in three-and a-half days instead of six months. The Ceremony featured the Union Pacific’s steam Engine No. 119 (aimed West) touching cowcatchers with Central Pacific’s wood burning Jupiter (aimed East) at Promontory Summit, Utah. From Utah, telegraph operators reported each stage of the ceremony. Approximately 500 people, including two Wells Fargo stage drivers who drove the last runs of their route attended. The honor of driving in the Golden Spike was given to Central Pacific’s Leland Stanford and Union Pacific’s Dr. T. C. Durant. Both missed their blow. A bottle of champagne was broken as a christening. Cheers were given and alcohol flowed. After the ceremony the Golden Spike was quickly exchanged with the standard. Celebrations were held across the country. Factory whistles blew, cannons were fired, the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Penn. was struck, and a seven-mile parade was held in Chicago, Ill. The goal of the Transcontinental Railroad was to facilitate trade and communication with China and Japan. Instead, in 1891, it was determined that 95 percent of the rail usage was national not international, fueling internal growth.
