Indian Chief Played Part in U P Era Celebration
A Cheyenne Wyoming ceremony on February 17 marks the Union Pacific rails joining east and west after the 1867 golden spike moment. Iron Bull of the Crow gave a pantomime speech as a spike was driven by railroad leader Willard. Five locomotives, including the 1887 relic, will pull into Cheyenne for display and a cost comparison shows rail travel is now faster and cheaper than in early days.
