Jetty and the Trains Part 1

Feel free to sing the title of this post to the Elton John song 'Benny and the Jets'




We had a little vacation to celebrate our anniversary this week and saw some pretty cool stuff. One of our stops was the Golden Spike National Monument. Since it wasn't peak visting hours the engines were not running, but we still were able to see them in the engine house a little bit away from the museum. It was a really cool place. With todays technology whizzing back and forth as speedy as can be, it's good to remember that these machines changed the way people did anything in the West or the U.S. This was a great stop and well worth the $5.00.
