The Union Pacific RR and Central Pacific RR met at Promontory Summit, Utah, in 1869, uniting the continent with the driving of a symbolic golden spike. The arduous wagon journey on the Oregon Trail and Mormon Trail became a thing of the past. As northern transcontinental railroads were completed in the coming decades, steamboats on the Missouri River also faded into history.
Join us on location at the zero mile marker in Council Bluffs, Iowa, at the rocks worn down by wagons on the Oregon Trail in western Nebraska, at a Pony Express station in Central Nebraska, at the 100th Meridian in Cozad, Nebraska, and at the monument to Oliver and Oakes Ames in eastern Wyoming.
By John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".
