WEST POINT — On the 143rd anniversary of the “Wedding of the Rails,” when the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads joined at Promontory Summit, students at West Point Elementary School created their own mock wedding to celebrate the event.
Fourth-graders in Krista Harrah’s class on Thursday donned cardboard boxes decorated to look like train cars and formed two trains — Union Pacific’s engine No. 119 and Central Pacific’s Jupiter.
Their classroom was converted to a wedding hall, complete with white ribbons and wedding cake.
