Nothing tells the story of American history and progress quite like the railroad. As the nation was being torn asunder by the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Pacific Railway Act of 1862, founding Union Pacific. Seven years later, the Golden Spike was driven at Promontory, Utah, to link the Union Pacific and Central Pacific tracks, creating the Transcontinental Railroad. It was a tremendous feat, literally binding the states into one nation and ushering in the Industrial Age.
Today railroads have gone high tech, with locomo-
tives becoming mobile computing and communications
vehicles. And Union Pacific, which helped make history
more than 140 years ago, is using the latest technology
to make more-innovative connections.
