Part of the park lets you walk along the old railway route. You can see the old railway bed here. During the competition to get as many miles built before the official meeting place was decided (the companies were paid by mile constructed so they wanted to lay as much track as they could), the graders for the two railways actually passed each other and worked next to each other along 250 miles of the route. This is part of that overlapping area when the two railroads would be working side-by-side. |
