The
train
pursued
its
course
,
that
evening
,
without
interruption
,
passing
Fort
Saunders
,
crossing
Cheyne
Pass
,
and
reaching
Evans
Pass
.
The
road
here
attained
the
highest
elevation
of
the
journey
,
eight
thousand
and
ninety-two
feet
above
the
level
of
the
sea
.
The
travellers
had
now
only
to
descend
to
the
Atlantic
by
limitless
plains
,
levelled
by
nature
.
A
branch
of
the
‘
grand
trunk
'
led
off
southward
to
Denver
,
the
capital
of
Colorado
.
The
country
round
about
is
rich
in
gold
and
silver
,
and
more
than
fifty
thousand
inhabitants
are
already
settled
there
.

Thirteen
hundred
and
eighty-two
miles
had
been
passed
over
from
San
Francisco
,
in
three
days
and
three
nights
;
four
days
and
nights
more
would
probably
bring
them
to
New
York
.
Phileas
Fogg
was
not
as
yet
behind-hand
.

During
the
night
Camp
Walbach
was
passed
on
the
left
;
Lodge
Pole
Creek
ran
parallel
with
the
road
,
marking
the
boundary
between
the
territories
of
Wyoming
and
Colorado
.
They
entered
Nebraska
at
eleven
,
passed
near
Sedgwick
,
and
touched
at
Julesburg
,
on
the
southern
branch
of
the
Platte
River
.

It
was
here
that
the
Union
Pacific
Railroad
was
inaugurated
on
the
23rd
of
October
, 1867,
by
the
chief
engineer
,
General
Dodge
.
Two
powerful
locomotives
,
carrying
nine
cars
of
invited
guests
,
amongst
whom
was
Thomas
C
.
Durant
,
vice-president
of
the
road
,
stopped
at
this
point
;
cheers
were
given
,
the
Sioux
and
Pawnees
performed
an
imitation
Indian
battle
,
fireworks
were
let
off
,
and
the
first
number
of
the
Railway
Pioneer
was
printed
by
a
press
brought
on
the
train
.
Thus
was
celebrated
the
inauguration
of
this
great
railroad
,
a
mighty
instrument
of
progress
and
civilisation
,
thrown
across
the
desert
,
and
destined
to
link
together
cities
and
towns
which
do
not
yet
exist
.
The
whistle
of
the
locomotive
,
more
powerful
than
Amphion's
lyre
,
was
about
to
bid
them
rise
from
American
soil
.
