Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This 60-ft. high pyramid stands desolate on a barren, windswept ridge in Wyoming. It was built to bolster the tattered reputation of the two brothers who facilitated building the first American transcontinental railroad, and stood at the highest point of that iron thread through the wilderness. Trains would stop here so passengers could stroll around it and marvel. Soon, however, the tracks were relocated as was the highway that had paralleled it. It stands mostly abandoned now but for the hawks that often perch on it, scanning the lonely vista to the edge of sight. Visitors are rare, though access is easy.
