This is the not that spike. At the ceremony, dignitaries placed commemorative final spikes into pre-drilled holes. When the ceremony ended, those spikes were removed and workers drove in the real final spikes. The Union Pacific Railroad (one of the two main railroad companies involved in building the Transcontinental Railroad) made commemorative spikes including this one after the event. All day today, we’ll be taking a closer look at the history of the Transcontinental Railroad and how it’s remembered.
