Yesterday we drove North for a couple of hours to visit the Golden Spike National Historical Park.
"One of the greatest technological achievements of the 19th century, the completion of the first transcontinental railroad across the United States. Visitors to the park can see the location of the Last Spike Site, 1869 railroad construction features, walk or drive on the original railroad grade, and get an up-close view of Victorian era replica locomotives."
Here are a few photos of the "Jupitor" locomotive on a cold winter's day.

Well done! Most of your viewers do not know the low temperatures and high winds that you had to go through to get these shots. Happy New Year!

Strong photographs of an historical steam locomotive. The color saturation and overall contrast bring out the potential of this subject. Thanks for sharing.
