Lincoln and the transcontinental railroad

[Christine]

If you see any pictures of the celebration look for my contribution! My husband and two sons and I got up before dawn and lined the road leading to Promontory Point with over 100 flags! Seeing those flags gently flapping in the early morning pre dawn stillness was an emotional experience! I put the last one in and said, "This one is for you Charles Richins" - my great great grandfather who worked on the railroad.
