Featured Puzzle: Train Tracks #1
In 2008, Amtrak wanted to raise awareness about the history and benefits of rail travel. They declared National Train Day to fall on the Saturday closest to May 10th each year. May 10th is the anniversary of the pounding of the Golden Spike in Provost, Utah, which completed the first transcontinental railroad. Amtrak discontinued their endorsement of the holiday in 2015, but rail fans continue to celebrate.
In a Train Tracks puzzle, you must connect the two stations with a single rail route, including all the given tracks.
