    Looks like it gets dual use as a car shop...

    Congratulations, Carsten Weye!

    Indeed, it is the San Louis Central.
    Home for all 2 units they have!
    Last time I was there, years ago, they had an EMD SW unit
    and a rarely used GE 70 ton.
    Think they also do repair work on their own fleet of cars.
    Want to go back down and check things out again one day.
    They've got an interesting operation there.

    Don't they also own/lease an SD90?

    The SLC owns two locomotives.
    An EMD SW-8 and a GE 70 ton.
    The line is 13 miles in length. Running from
    Sugar Junction to Center, CO.
    Hauling grain, potatoes and fertilizer.
    Also a car owner, mainly reefers and boxcars.

    This comes from Wikipedia.
