The Last Spike
"A nebulous dream was a reality: an iron ribbon crossed Canada from sea to sea. Often following the footsteps of early explorers, nearly 3000 miles of steel rail pushed across vast prairies, cleft lofty mountains passes, twisted through canyons, and bridged a thousand streams. At Craigelliachie on Nov. 7, 1885, a plain iron spike welded East to West." A plaque at Craigelliachie.
