Golden+Spike



golden spike: It was the last, ceremonial spike put into the ground to mark the completion of a railroad. A financier and contractor from San Fransisco, David Hewes, came up with the idea of using the spike to represent the railroad's completion. The two sides of the golden spike included the names of the railroad's officers and directors.
