Excerpt of 1954 United States Geological Survey map showing Lookout along route of the Union Pacific Railroad.

Lookout was a station of the [[Union Pacific Railroad] in Albany County, Wyoming, United States.

A former station on the Union Pacific Railroad, and part of the route of the First Transcontinental Railroad, an 1869 railroad guide describes the station as located at at mile post 603 on the rail line, with "Mr. John Owens, the agent and operator. The country is rolling but less bluffy since leaving Laramie."[2]

The 1916 edition of the The Complete Official Road Guide of the Lincoln Highway describes Lookout as containing a railroad station with "no accommodation for tourists. Drinking and radiator water can be obtained. Camp site. There are several large stock ranches near here."[3]
