Shown are wagons of the Wyoming Transportation Company, which was owned by J. W. Hugus. The construction of the UP railroad and establishment of Fort Steele on the railroad line brought more whites and settlers to the region. The fort trader’s store, J. W. Hugus and Company, was supplying ranchers and others by 1870.
