Ogden's 75th. anniversary was held in 1988, and to
commemorate
this event,employees from numerous
trades and unions throughout the plant
came together
to assemble a lasting monument that would be
recognizable
and a friendly welcome to visitors to Ogden. The
"Mechanical
Man" named SPIKE, stands 27 feet
tall at the entrance to the shops.The first
name given
to this huge figure was Oggie, and is still called this
today
by many employees. He is constructed from Locomotive
and Freight Car
parts. The body is a boiler,the head and ears
are gears and the arms and
hands are couplers. He is holding a
locomotive engine crankshaft in his right
hand.
