September, 1869
The transcontinental railroad was a
commercial link which opened new
markets and figuratively united the nation
with bands of rail. Seen here are Union
Pacific RR fruit cars enroute to California
to be loaded with perishables for eastern
markets. For a few months in 1869 and
1870 Promontory was a vital hub in this
exchange of passenges and freight.
