Summary
A Pony Express rider and a stagecoach leave the Red Buttes station in Natrona County, Wyoming. A lineman works on a telegraph line as a crew, with a mule-drawn wagon, secures the pole in the ground. The station consists of two log buildings with sod roofs. A sign over a door reads: "Telegraph." Red Buttes and the Bessemer Bend of the North Platte River are in the distance.
