Union Pacific Recreates Historic Steam Meet Commemorating
150th Anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s Completion
May 2019 - Union Pacific hosted a celebration marking the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad’s completion. The ceremony was held at the Ogden Union Station, a day ahead of Utah’s celebration at Promontory Summit where the Golden Spike was originally tapped into place. The ceremony featured Union Pacific’s iconic steam locomotives, Living Legend No. 844 and Big Boy No. 4014. The two met, recreating the historic image taken at Promontory Summit on May 10, 1869. The Big Boy is one of eight left in the world. It’s newly refurbished and the only one in operation. Following the steam meet, Union Pacific Chairman, President and CEO Lance Fritz and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert were joined by Margaret Yee and Sandy Dodge to tap a ceremonial spike. Yee’s ancestors were among thousands of Chinese immigrants who forged the transcontinental railroad for Central Pacific. Dodge is a descendant of Gen. Grenville Dodge, Civil War veteran and Union Pacific’s chief engineer during construction.

==================================
Tomorrow the House will vote to radically transform our country and culture. They will vote to redefine civil rights as we know it.
Liberals in Congress want to enshrine into law the belief that gender is defined by one’s “choice” and elevate it to the same protected status as race or ethnicity.
Here’s what this will do to our country:
Liberals call their bill the “Equality Act,” but it won’t create equality for women, parents, or people of faith.
Conservatives must stand up against this bill.
Call your congressman today! Say NO to redefining gender and NO to the so-called “Equality Act.”
Tomorrow is the vote. Now is the time to call. Click here to find your congressman’s phone number (along with helpful talking points).
You can find more information about the “Equality Act” (H.R. 5) here.
Thank you for taking action on this critical issue.

Secretary Perdue Statement on the Removal of Section 232 Tariffs
(WASHINGTON, D.C., May 17, 2019) – U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue released the following statement after the Section 232 Tariffs were removed from Canada and Mexico.
“Today’s announcement is a big win for American agriculture and the economy as a whole. I thank President Trump for negotiating a great deal and for negotiating the removal of these tariffs. Canada and Mexico are two of our top three trading partners, and it is my expectation that they will immediately pull back their retaliatory tariffs against our agricultural products. Congress should move swiftly to ratify the USMCA so American farmers can begin to benefit from the agreement.”
