The Transcontinental Railroad's Real Final Connection

Lots of people think the Transcontinental Railroad ended in May, 1869 at Promontory Point, Utah, with the driving of the Golden Spike. But the work was yet to be complete with the train trestle near Lathrop, California to connect New York with San Francisco. Jeff and Sarah will take you there on this episode of "History Hunters."
