Photos and stories from the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) 2019 Annual Convention by Chris Guenzler. The below includes travel to the event, and reports and photos from many rail outings at NRHS. The NRHS 2019 Convention was held simultaneous with "Spike 150", Utah's celebration of the 150-year anniversary of the Golden Spike. The Golden Spike is one of the most iconic and life-altering events in America's history -- the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. It happened in Utah on May 10, 1869. Many of the reports and photos below are of this celebration and the participating trains.
