In January 1869, graders of the railroad found a similar tree standing next to the line they were constructing, which by coincidence marked the western progress of exactly one thousand miles of road from Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa, the eastern terminus〔(Executive Order of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, Fixing the Point of Commencement of the Pacific Railroad at Council Bluffs, Iowa. dated March 7, 1864. ) (38th Congress, 1st Session SENATE Ex. Doc. No. 27)〕〔Cooper, Bruce C., (''"Riding the Transcontinental Rails: Overland Travel on the Pacific Railroad 1865–1881"'' ) (2005), Polyglot Press, Philadelphia ISBN 1-4115-9993-4. p. 11〕 of the First Transcontinental Railroad. The original Thousand Mile Tree was found standing along the Weber River, adjacent to the under-construction grade of the westbound Union Pacific section of the transcontinental line in what is known as Wilhemina Pass, at an elevation of above sea level. According to Utah rail historian and writer Don Strack, in his article ''Eastbound To Wahsatch—Union Pacific's Route Through Weber and Echo Canyons'', about one week following 15 January 1869, the “tracks reached the site of a large tree, tall, that happened to be exactly 1,000 miles from Omaha, and soon a sign was hung from the tree clearly stating that fact. "The tree was in the middle of a gorge between Henefer in the Upper Weber Valley and Devil’s Slide, a unique geological formation of twin limestone ridges running vertically from the canyon floor. Along with the Thousand Mile Tree, Devil's Slide immediately became a sight to be seen by all passing trains. The gorge just east of Devil’s Slide was named Wilhemina Pass and was the subject of several views by Union Pacific’s official photographer A. J. Russell for his stereographic tour of the new line. Although the gorge was changed significantly to accommodate today’s Interstate 84, most early trains stopped to allow passengers to appreciate the landmark, and several excursion trains from Ogden were arranged to see Wilhemina Pass, the Thousand Mile Tree, and Devil’s Slide.” By 1900, the original Thousand Mile Tree had died and it was removed in September of that year. Later modifications to the line reduced the mileage at that point from 1000 miles to , but in 1982, Union Pacific planted a new tree to commemorate the site.〔 This particular tree stands today within a special fenced enclosure along the original transcontinental line, where it has grown to over tall. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thousand Mile Tree」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
