Harriman Dispatch Center Entrance

Union Pacific railroad operations center. This building was constructed in 1891 as a freight depot for Union Pacific and was used for that purpose until 1977. The original Union Pacific Railway was sold at auction at the west entrance of the building on November 1, 1897. A group of investors led by financier Edward H. Harriman paid a record $58 million. The Union Pacific Railroad completed renovation of the original structure and its conversion to the dispatching center in 1989.
