This aerial view of the small town of Hugo, CO really exemplifies just how much of a crowd UP's steam trains draw in! Cars are lined on both sides of US-287 through the town. I saw plenty of license plates from Kansas and Utah as railfans and steam fans (who are not necessarily railfans otherwise) made the trek to check it out.

Unsure of exactly where Big Boy UP 4014 would stop, people walk along the tracks from the left to gather around the engine to marvel at the impressive machine, take pictures, or maybe get that selfie they've wanted!

No matter where it goes, how large or small the town is, or how far away from major population centers, UP's steam engines always draw an impressive crowd! The town of Hugo is flooded with steam enthusiasts. So much so that local police were conducting traffic control at intersection is the typically sleepy town. The train is stopped here for a 30 minute photo op.

The UP Steam Crew bring UP 4014 to a stop for a 30 minute break and photo op in the small town of Hugo, CO. UP 4014 is getting close to the end of a month-long tour that took it from Cheyenne to New Orleans and now back.

A few miles east of downtown Hugo, CO finds this military train charging west across a long, straight section of track. The train was carrying a mix of desert and forest camouflage equipment with all-EMD power in control.
