Just wanted to thank Delts145....
...for starting this thread, it gives alot of people outside our area to see what is going on here in Northern Utah.
I was real fortunate to get close to the two locomotives that came nose to nose during the opening ceremonies today. If you are outside of our state, you might remember that back in the mid 19th Century, the construction of the Trans Continental railroads was completed here in Utah. It is referred to as the Golden Spike. But anyhow, the nose-to-nose of the locos was done as a symbolic gesture of that achievement.
It is a reminder of how we have progressed in Transportation in this country, yet looks forward to the many, many possibilities that lie ahead.
I suspect gas will exceed $4 a gallon in most parts of the country soon, so let us look as this as a way to promote a greener Earth.

P.S. Our transit agency has begun planning a 50 mile extension of FrontRunner to the south.
