Chinese Arch
|
Chinese Arch was named to honor the 10,000 Chinese workers
imported to work on the Central Pacific Railroad. The Central Pacific
and the Union Pacific met at Promontory Summit near the northern
end of the Great Salt Lake completing the transcontinental railroad on
May 10, 1869. The site is now called the Golden Spike National
Historic Site. There are two auto tours which follow the old railroad
grade: the West Auto Tour and East Auto Tour. The Arch is along
the East Tour. Photo by Rob Jones |
