Heliotype promoting the Union Pacific line with a view of the tracks crossing Sherman Hill (and the Continental Divide) outside of the now ghost town of Sherman, Wyoming. Sherman Hill is one of the landmarks on the transcontinental railroad and the highest point on the original U.P. line with a summit topping of 8,247 feet above sea level. Sherman Hill is one of the easiest crossings of the Rockies, and today it is one of the busiest lines. We are unable to locate another example of this poster. Rare.
