On May 10, 1869, dignitaries of the Union Pacific Railroad stood for a photograph on the completed tracks with an officer of the Twenty-first U.S. Infantry posed in front and men of his regiment behind him.

To his left stood Union Pacific Director Sidney Dillon, identified by his white muttonchops whiskers, and third to Dillon's left was Grenville M. Dodge, Union Pacific Chief Engineer.
