On May 10, 1869, the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads met at Promontory Summit, Utah, completing the Transcontinental Railroad. Railroad construction of the eastward bound Central Pacific began at the foot of K Street in Sacramento on January 8, 1863. For the 155th anniversary, Jared letterpress printed one of the many cuts of a locomotive that we have in our print shop. This print is available as part of the Sacramento prints bundle in our store! This was printed with black rubber base ink using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. #onthisday #todayinhistory #train #locomotive #trains #unintentionalasmr #oddlysatisfying #art #powerofthepress #SacHistoryMuseum #sacramento #museum #history #letterpress #printingpress #asmr #printing #youtubeshorts #youtube #shorts #short #shortvideo #oldsacramento
