Rocket Train

 

First stop Monday was the display of rockets from 1950’s to the present, including a solid rocket booster from the space shuttle, on display in front of the Orbital ATK Thiokol manufacturing complex.   Of course this side trip concluded with another glass of Tang.

Then on to the Golden Spike National Historic Site in at Promontory Summit where on May 10, 1869 the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined their rails of the first Transcontinental Railroad and forged the destiny of a nation. The steam locomotives here are modern day recreations but interesting none the less.

East meets West
