Sacramento - Train Museum - Part 8
Ok, so these are all out of order, but it doesn't really matter. This first photo is of the "golden spike" or "the last spike". This was presented at the ceremony of the railroad completion. There is a lot more to the story but I don't have the time or energy to tell it. If you want to know more post a comment and I will post a photo of the story, 'cause I got a photo of the plaque that tells the story, yay me!
This photo is taken from the second story. It is just a tiny part of the museum. The museum itself consists of 3 acres!!
This is taken in the Pullman car, one of the things the tour guide told the kids to find. The golden spike was one of the things too. This train actually swayed and they turned the lights low to demonstrate what it felt like in those days to travel by train. I would have slept really well!
This is after they found the golden spike. The girls were getting a little tired by now, but they were still all smiles!

Somewhere in that museum, there's some old Marla puke. When Lee & I went to the Expo in Vancouver in '86, we took Marla up to visit Karen in Sac. We brought her to the train museum, and then we found out she was sick.
After she puked on the tracks, we went back to Karen's. We didn't see the whole museum :/
bummer!
