Working on the railroad

Below are pictures of men working on the railroad in Utah.

On May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit (56 miles from Ogden), the first  of five transcontinental railroad 's were completed. Alanson Allen and Erasust Perry Bingham were among the people that worked on it and were there the day the last spike was driven. These pictures are from Utah's historical archives.
