Drawing captioned, "Union Pacific Railway of America. Sherman Station, The Highest Railway Station in the World." Drawing dates to 1905.

Within 15 months of the railroad reaching Sherman Hill in April 1868, Sherman Station boasted railroad machine shops, a Wells Fargo express office, a newspaper, a millinery store and, as indicated by the photo, 2 two-story false fronted hotels, the Sherman House and the Summit House. They were not much as hotels but featured decent meals. Next door to the hotels was a bar.
