The TXI plant - located roughly halfway between CO-72 and the south end of Boulder along CO-93 - is the last industry served on the north end of the Rocky Spur. Anybody who's driven past on CO-93 will probably remember it! This shot shows the plant along with the new "critter" being used to switch cars out at the plant.

It appears as though the GM8 that has been used by the TXI plant (at the end of the Rocky Spur) for so many years may have finally fallen off its last leg. This new "critter" showed up a few weeks ago and has been switching hoppers that the GM8 used to switch.

At the very end of the Rocky Spur is the TXI Plant (that has gone through several different owners over the years). For as long as I can remember, the plant has switched out covered hoppers using this old G8. It is in pretty sad condition and may actually be inoperable at this point. It hadn't moved in several weeks at the time I took this shot. This is the VERY end of the Rocky Spur, just a few dozen feet away from CO-93.
