		Thus, from our perspective, various points raised by the City to impeach the conclusion that a preservation approach is feasible— e.g., the precise horizontal dimensions of the step stone structure, the requirement of a double layer of stone, etc.--are questions to be engaged on the other side of the threshold within a preservation framework.

		Judging from what is known of its maintenance history, Promontory Point has not received in the entirety of its seventy year life a fraction of the maintenance attention projected by STS on an annual basis for the rebuilt step stone structure.

	NPS Historical Handbook: Golden Spike
		On the west the ascent could be made in 16 relatively easy miles; but on the east, where the slope was more abrupt, the ascent required, for an airline distance of 5 miles from Blue Creek to the summit, 10 tortuous miles of grade with a climb of 80 feet to the mile.
		Built in the valley near where the lines commence the ascent of the Promontory, it is nearly surrounded by grading camps, Benson, Farr and West's headquarters a mile or two south west.
		The proximity of the earth-work and blasting to each other, at these and other points along the Promontory line, requires the utmost care and vigilance on the part of all concerned, else serious if not fatal, consequences would be of frequent occurrence.

		Promontory Point, Utah, lying on the tip of a peninsula jutting into the Great Salt Lake, is perhaps best known for what didn't take place there on May 10, 1869.

		Today Promontory Summit is known, appropriately, as Golden Spike NHS, and visiting it may require a bit of fancy engineering of your own.
