"The Golden Spike Ceremony at Promontory, Utah - May 10, 1849", Railroad

Picture Frame was made by Vern Graham (Postmaster 1971 ) from wood of destroyed C.M. & G [Chicago, Milwaukee, and Gary] Railroad Station.

"The Chicago, Milwaukee and Gary Railroad, a freight line, ran to the south of the Chicago, Aurora and DeKalb Railway. The two lines merged just north of Galena Blvd., before heading into Aurora. The entry to the [Village] Bible Church on Rte. 47 [at the location of the Bliss Woods Caretaker's House] was its road bed."
