Who Built the Railroad?

A famous photograph taken on May 10, 1869, commemorated the meeting of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads at Promontory Point, Utah, which marked the completion of the transcontinental railroad. This image was widely circulated yet is not an accurate representation of the event. This puzzle asks “What’s wrong with this photograph?”

Two steam locomotives face each other nose to nose as a large crowd of railroad workers gathers around two men shaking hands between them, likely the transcontinental railroad's completion at Promontory Summit.
