#OnThisDay in 1919, Congress passed the #19thAmendment, which gave all American women the right to vote. In IL, women could vote for president by 1913, but not legislators at the state & federal level. Thus, the campaigning continued until full political equality. #19thAt100

When it came time to decide how to celebrate the anniversary of the driving of the Golden Spike, nothing could compare to bringing back the Big Boy #UP4014. More than five years after the project began, the Big Boy was christened in Cheyenne, WY, May 4, 2019. #Transcon150
