"The Golden Spike That Changed the World".

There were nearly 200 Fourth Graders who did their best to win a replica of the Golden Spike that connected the Union Pacific with the Central Pacific Railroad at Promontory Point, Utah on May 10, 1869. Although that "wedding of the rails" occurred 150 years ago, the students in the Juab School District acted like it happened on this years May 10th, when the winners were announced. In a way, all participants were winners, as they were actively taught by great teachers. Below, we have the photo and list of those who received the golden spikes. If you or your kid wants a photo copy, they can be gazed upon and purchased at Livingston Photo in Nephi, Utah. Mavanie Ariza was the photographer and took several photos which are available there. An article about the historical event is in The Times News today and..... some day..... we will figure out how to computerize the old photos of the train going up "Track Street" in Nephi, America. Our railroad caps and hats go off to the Daughters of Utah Pioneers(DUP), who sponsored such a terrific and historical event. And parents, your kids are in good hands with the Juab School District.
