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.
