Hi Rush, looks like the centenial of the meeting of the rails...they drove a spike made of gold in the final tie...here's some info...

There are a lot of rail road buffs out there...strangely enough called Foamers...because everytime the conversation steers towards rail roads they start salivating. Anyway, if you plan on selling it...it would be good to check the rail road collectors.

Very cool poster rush and I agree with EdleBrock on Centennial Maybe the poster made by the Railroad museum? Notice the color blue/red on this S.U.P. Railroad museum pinback:

I've found many iron spikes along old RR tracks, but no golden spike
