Engine No. 86 at Green River Station, Wyoming, 1869

Photograph by William Henry Jackson. In 1869, Jackson undertook a photography expedition along the Union Pacific. He left Omaha and purchased a ticket to the next town. There he took photographs similar to those taken earlier by A. J. Russell, an official U.P.R.R. photographer. When Jackson had raised enough money, he purchased a ticket to the next stop, working his way along the line to Salt Lake.
