Yup, the 2 steamers at Promontory in northern Utah are both replicas. They sell a book there showing the building of one of those replicas. I don't recall the company that constructed them. I wasn't able to see the steamers when I was there this past Feb. on a weekday. The folks there were shorthanded and weren't able to escort me to the enginehouse to get up close and personal They bring them out on the weekends and recreate the Golden Spike ceremony.
