Just leaving a comment for research and either corroboration or correction.

This page has following content: "In Andrew J. Russell's famous photograph of the Meeting of the Lines, No. 119 is seen on the right with its engineer, Sam Bradford, leaning off the pilot holding a bottle of champagne up to Jupiter engineer George Booth. Bradford and Booth would later break a bottle of champagne over the other's locomotive in celebration."

In Andrew Russell's photograph, Union Pacific No. 119 is, correctly, identified as the locomotive on the right. However, the bottle of champagne is being held by Jupiter engineer Booth (i.e., on left in photo).

Because I have not done any research beyond this page, and there could be other misidentification (engineer names, for example), I cannot "edit." But, clearly, the comment regarding the photo is wrong. 71.225.216.153 (talk) 21:54, 11 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
