A week from tonight they will be tying down the westbound to Promontory for the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad that literally built America from its journey over Sherman Hill and the mighty #overlandroute . This railroad made us who we are; gave us the industrial might to conquer World War Two and keeps our economy on the move to this day. Congratulations! @uprr Union Pacific on this incredible achievement and a special round of applause to the crews and teams of the Union Pacific Steam Program in Cheyenne, Wyoming. .
