The final spike was set on the double track mainline of the UPRR Rochelle Subdivision.  To commemorate the event a short ceremony was held with  a few Union Pacific employees and executives in attendance.  Once the final spike was set, waiting trains were able to roll.  The action was captured on video and can viewed on youtube at the urls below.
