Clark was promoted by Jay Gould to General Superintendent of Union Pacific Railroad. He started as General Freight Agent in 1867. Charles Adams forced S. H. H. Clark to resign as Vice President and General Manager of Union Pacific. S. H. H. Clark had taken over as president when Dillon died, but Clark was a Gould man and when Gould died, Clark lost his influence against the bankers and the government in the fight over repaying the floating debt and the government bonds. The Northern Pacific and Union Pacific jointly organized the Montana Union Railway in 1886 with each initially owning half of the companies stock. The company served the mining region into Butte.
