Historical Marker reads, in part: "This Redwood Water Tank was built by the Wyoming Central Railway in 1886. It was first filled by a windmill, then by other types of pumps. It stored water for the steam engines that pulled the trains. It is one of only six remaining in the nation."
"The Niobrara County Historical Society obtained the tank in 1971 and has repaired and restored it with lots of community and individual support."
