Historic Downtown Laramie Live Web Camera
During the spring of 1868, this was the site of the “Big Tent”, a gambling and saloon hall which moved from each end-of-tracks town to the next, as the railroad was constructed. This building was built in the 1870s. It was remodeled around the turn of the century to include the words “Miller Block” in the cornice; later updates produced the current façade, which reads “Midwest Block”.

Welcome To Evanston Wyoming 2019!
Evanston was founded in 1868 as a frontier camp for construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. By 1871, with the construction of a roundhouse and machine shops, the town’s permanency was assured and it soon became the shipping center for cattle for Wyoming, Utah and Montana. A large Chinese population lived in Evanston to work in the Almy Coal Mines and on the Union Pacific track. More recently, Evanston was the center of oil and gas activity along the Overthrust Belt during the mid-80’s. Home of the Wyoming Downs.

The Ames Monument
The Ames Monument filmed with a DJI Phantom Professional on Sunday 4th June 2017 by Nid Collins of French Creek Films.
The Ames Monument is a large pyramid in Albany County, Wyoming, designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and dedicated to brothers Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames, Jr., Union Pacific Railroad financiers. The brothers garnered credit for connecting the nation by rail upon completion of the United States' First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. Oakes, a U.S. representative to the United States Congress from Massachusetts, asserted near total control of its construction, whereas Oliver became president of the Union Pacific Railroad (1866 - 1871). In 1873 investigators implicated Oakes in fraud associated with financing of the railroad. Congress subsequently censured Oakes, who resigned in 1873. He died soon thereafter.
The Ames Monument marked the highest point on the transcontinental railroad at 8,247 feet (2,514 m). However, Union Pacific Railroad Company twice relocated the tracks further south, causing the town of Sherman that arose near the monument to become a ghost town.
The Ames Monument is located about 20 miles (32 km) east of Laramie, Wyoming on a wind-blown, treeless summit south of Interstate 80 at the Vedauwoo exit. The monument is a four-sided, random ashlar pyramid, 60 feet (18 m) square at the base and 60 feet (18 m) high, constructed of light-colored native granite. The pyramid features an interior passage, now sealed, alongside the perimeter of the structure's base.
Noted American architect H. H. Richardson designed the pyramid, which includes two 9 feet (2.7 m) tall bas-relief portraits of the Ames brothers by sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens on the east and west sides of the pyramid's top. Saint-Gaudens chiseled the bas-reliefs from Quincy, Massachusetts, granite. The north side, which at one time faced the railroad tracks, displays one-foot-high letters grouted in the granite noting: In Memory of Oakes Ames and Oliver Ames. The monument is one of a half-dozen or more projects that Richardson did for the Ames family.

Union Pacific Depot - Cheyenne Wyoming - Listed as a National Historic Landmark
The Cheyenne Depot was built in 1886-1887 and is one of the most beautiful railroad stations in North America. The 3-story depot is made from polychromatic sandstone quarried near Fort Collins, Colorado. In 1922, major renovations extended the structure to its present 331-foot length. In 1929, the interior was modernized to reflect the then current art deco style.
The Depot faces the Capitol (about 10 blocks North). See my other videos.
