National Train Day Golden Spike Ceremony
held on May 9th was a huge success.

A reenactment of the meeting of the rails and Gold Spike ceremony was held on the main line in front of the SCLS Wilson Park station. Jim's Sweetcreek #9 and Tim's Forney "Jillie Belle" took the place of the CP Jupiter and UP #119 as they met on the rails, pilot to pilot in front of the station.

A free golden spike and card were given to each attendee. Almost 700 train rides were given after the ceremony ended in 1.5 hours. Thanks to all who participated in our 1st National Train Day Ceremony.

Pictures to follow. Check the "railroad articles" section soon.
