Not to be too much of a nitpicker twhite, but actually the Central Pacific ran from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, not Promontory Point. I still slip that up often, probably due to all history books being wrong. Promontory Point is in the middle of the Great Salt Lake, the Central Pacific and the Union Pacific joined at Promontory Summit which is north of the Salt Lake. There was an article in Trains a number of years ago about the whole deal.
