Union Pacific 119 was a 4-4-0 American type steam locomotive, built in 1868 by Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works of Paterson, New Jersey, for the Union Pacific Railroad. It was one of a batch of five, numbered 116 to 120. It became famous on May 10, 1869, when it stood nose to nose with the Central Pacific Railroad locomotive Jupiter at Promontory Summit, Utah, during the Golden Spike ceremony marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. The locomotive went back to freight work afterwards, was renumbered 343 and was scrapped in 1903. The Union Pacific only recognised its history after it was gone, and an operating replica built for the National Park Service now runs at the Golden Spike National Historical Park.
