Replica locomotives at the Golden Spike National Historic Site re-enact the 1869 completion ceremony.

Golden Spike National Historic Site although it does not offer train rides, this museum site is included here for its great historic interest. Promontory is where in 1869 the last spike was driven on the railway which first made it possible to travel by rail from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States. The line was later bypassed (by means of a long viaduct over the Great Salt Lake), and the original site is preserved as a memorial. The site is open daily throughout the year (except for certain holidays). On most days from May to mid October, exact replicas of the steam locomotives involved in the original ceremony can be viewed in operation.
