TRAIN RIDE



I've never taken a real train ride, just the amusement park kind. It's something I want to do someday.

THINKING BIG

The tracks of the Central Rock Island and Pacific Railroad reached this town of Kellogg, Iowa in the spring of 1866. It continued it's Westward way, with the first train passing through Kellogg on July 1, 1867.

The Central Pacific and the Union Pacific Railroads were joined with a golden spike ceremony at Promontory Utah, on
May 10, 1869. The East coast of the United States was connected with the West coast.

Big ideas by some big thinkers.
