Description
Colorized photo from 1869
Original Title: The windmill at Laramie
Location: Laramie, WY
The train is from the Union Pacific company, its number 80. Beyond that little is known about it. This image has to do with that giant windmill. It was designed to self regulate and pump water for the engines. In its day it was a feat of engineering, it was also very durable.
