At an elevation of 8,247 feet, this monument stands at what once was the highest point on the route of the Union Pacific Railroad. The tracks were rerouted a few miles to the south in 1901, but the monument still looms over the surrounding plains and can be easily accessed from Interstate 80. - See more at: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/ames-monument#sthash.qKasgS6G.dpuf">http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/ames-monument#sthash.qKasgS6G.dpuf</a>
