Locomotive Bell on Central Pacific #60, Jupiter (replica)

Locomotive Bell on Central Pacific #60, Jupiter (replica)
We had a very good morning at this historic spot. If you arrive early, you get to see the steam locomotives run from their sheds to the static display point near the visitor center.

This was taken at Promontory Summit, location of the Golden Spike National Historical Site, Utah.

These are replicas, created for the Historical Site. They were built by some specialists in California, and the paint schemes were re-created by an artist who worked for Disney.

That said, they are working locomotives, and are taken out each day from their barns, run to the site, and set up to re-create the Golden Spike ceremony.

For travelers to Utah, a visit is a MUST.
