    Actually... this wasn't "the final spike". They were paid by the mile. They actually already built past each other. DC finally told them, stop and call it quits so they picked that spot to throw the official celebration. If you look at arial pictures, you will see 2 railroads - both companies building 2 lines. When UP bought the Pacific half, they immediately abandoned one of those redundant lines.
