Since I won't have time to run up there tomorrow, how about a commemoration of Spike 150, the 150th anniversary of the Golden Spike Ceremony? That was a fun day. Can't believe is been 4 years already since we were last up there.

@Yellowstone Special,

I'll see you one and raise you one.  From Golden Spike 125, May 10, 1994:

Very nice!

Still looking for layout commemorations.

Today, May 10^th, 2023, is the 154^th anniversary of the completion of the first transcontinental railroad at Promontory, Utah in 1869. In recognition of this transformative event, I ran an Amtrak consist headed by AEM-7 #924 on my 12’-by-8’ model railroad. Amtrak is the only railroad that has ever provided transcontinental passenger service across the entire United States - from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

My MTH Premier model of Amtrak AEM-7 #924 (20-5505-1, MSRP $329.95) was made in 1999 with PS1. MTH offered several paint schemes on its AEM-7s but, unfortunately, there has not been an O gauge model of its ACS-64 successor. The first of Amtrak’s fifty-four 7,000 horsepower AEM-7s began service in 1980 and the last was retired in 2016.

Today marks the 154^th anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike that completed the first transcontinental railroad with the meeting of locomotives Jupiter (Central Pacific Railroad #60) and Union Pacific Railroad #119 at Promontory, Utah on May 10, 1869. Photos show my MTH Premier model (20-3237-2, MSRP $679.99) of Jupiter that was delivered with PS2 and scale wheels in December 2006.
