This refers to the 10th of May in 1869 when, at Promontory Summit, Utah, the last spike for the "completion" of the transcontinental railroad was driven. The track was in fact not complete due to the fact that cargo and passengers had to be ferried across the Missouri river between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Omaha, Nebraska. (The two burgs.) A train from Ogden, Utah brought the band from Fort Douglas that played for the celebration at Promontory Summit.

The entire questionThis is a question from Marlboro Outwit contest. The entire question reads, "On the fabled tenth of May there was much hoopla and hooray but it was all a bluff because even with the Douglas folks and the council celebrating a body of water still separated them.
