UP 4014 makes a 15 minute stop in the small town of Deer Trail, CO, about 50 miles east of Denver on the Colorado Plains. You can seen the line of cars on CO-40 in the background, stretching just about as far as the eye can see, filled with people coming out to see the Big Boy in person.

UP 1983 leads an eastbound blade train east of the town of Deer Trail on the KP (Kansas Pacific) line. With the downturn in coal, things have really slowed down on the KP. As few as 1 or 2 trains per 24-hour period is not uncommon! This train was able to run from Byers, CO to Sharon Springs, KS without any meets.

At 3:45am, a crew was called to hop on a "blade train" (a train with electricity-generating windmill blades) that was tied down in the siding at Mesa. The train departed Mesa around 5:45am. I got trackside just east of Deer Trail, the first spot where sunlight came out from behind morning clouds. Here, UP 1983 leads the train in the morning sun.
