My dad grew up in NW Wyoming so we took lots of trips to that part of the country growing up. Our family listened to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002OUQP8/105-3879029-3905246?ie=UTF8&tag=discoveringharry&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B0002OUQP8" rel="nofollow">Stephen Ambrose's book "Nothing Like It In the World"</a> several years ago when we drove from Texas to California over Spring Break, and that entire story of the transcontinental railroad is amazing. Hopefully we'll make it out to Utah at some point to see that historic spot and tour the museum there. Pat: I haven’t visited the Golden Spike site in Utah but would LOVE to.

My husband loves trains too and drags me to every train museum we get near when we are traveling. Have you ever been to Golden Spike National Historic Site in Utah which commemorates the completion of the transcontinental railroad? We were there a couple of years ago and was well worth seeing,even though it was in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for a sharing such great thoughts.
