English: Media related to the Thousand Mile Tree, a pine tree located in Weber Canyon near the community of Henefer, Utah, United States, along the Overland Route of the Union Pacific Railroad. In January 1869, graders of the railroad found a similar tree standing next to the line they were constructing, which by coincidence marked the western progress of exactly one thousand miles of road from Omaha, Nebraska/Council Bluffs, Iowa, the eastern terminus of the First transcontinental railroad.
