Story
Weld the Past to the Present to Enrich the Future
This monument is a grateful tribute to the builders of America’s first transcontinental railroad, completed May 10, 1869, when the Golden Spike was driven at Promontory, Utah, 53 miles northwest of Ogden.
Dedicated May 10, 1951, to honor those pioneers who builded better than they knew, and to encourage for all time the same joy of doing.
Factoid
Not typical UPTLA bronze plaque, does say No 120 at bottom. Below plaque is a Daughters of Utah Pioneers plaque No. 416, Ogden City Wall
