At the absolute end of the Rocky Spur, on the other side of the Acrosa aggregate plant loadout. This G8 was built in the late 1950s by General Motors Diesel, the Canadian plant for EMD. The unit went to Canadian National and spent a lot of time around the CN system. It was eventually bought by Texas Industries Inc (TXI), and moved here, to the aggregate plant along CO-93. The unit became redundant when the aggregate plant purchase a track-mobile to switch cars. The unit has sat quiet in this same spot for the last 17 years, not being used since 2007. Fortunately, it has been donated to the Pueblo Railway museum. It will eventually be moved and restored.
