Heres something for you train fans. Today in 1869 I think it was the first trans-continental railroad was connected in Utah. One group started on the east coast and the other in the west coast and joined together. It was symbolized by driving a golden spike at the joining point.

Cool eh? I think Fozzer was a wee lad then..
