Across deserts, fording streams, climbing mountains, these pilgrims had toiled. Hunger, disease, exposure and frequent encounters with hostile Indian bands had been their daily lot. Thou- sands had died enroute and were buried by the wayside. By the spring of 1869 the Union Pacific railroad had been completed to Ogden and it was announced that the capital of Utah was not to be included in this transcon- tinental system. Not to be denied, however, the disap- >ointed settlers of these valleys immediately organized a c^Jinpany__to build a connecting line of their own. On May 7, one week after the driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory, ground for this new road — the Utah Central — was broken. Capital, materials and labor were generously forthcoming to finance and carry through tlie' undertaking and the last obstacle to an early completion was removed when rails and rolling stock were obtained from the Union Pacific. And so, in seven months from the very day that the Union Pacific was completed, the new Utah Central was ready for operation. A mammoth celebration was planned and on January 10, 1870, the day appointed, 15,000 joyful people assembled. It was a festive gathering. Enthusiasm and rejoicing ran high. State officials, high church dignitaries, leading busi- ness men and military representatives from Camp Douglas were guests of the occasion. At 2 p. m. President Brigham Young drove the last spike, officially completing the new road. / "Thus ^nded the celebration of the most important event, considered from a commercial standpoint, that has ever transpired in Utah Territory," commented the Deseret Even ing News of the following day.
