With the upcoming 100th Anniversary of the Driving of the Golden Spike, Ross Roland took it upon himself and his High Iron Company to create a steam excursion like never before~! With a striking silver, blue, and gold paint scheme, the train was not only impressive, but pleasing to the eye. Many trains pulled the Golden Spike Centennial Limited, but today we focus on Nickel Plate Road 759 and Union Pacific 844 as the train is handed over from one steam foundation to another. Lots of rare footage and plenty of train action, we hope you enjoy the show~!!
