That's the IDEAL CEMENT switcher. Ideal Cement had a cement East of Florence on the Tennessee Pass line. The name of the small town was Portland because of the Portland cement produced there. The plant is still operational but is owned by someone else. It still ships out cement in covered hoppers.

Thanks, I was wondering what IDEAL was. Does Royal Gorge Route own this unit?

I don't know. It may, or it's stored here because the yard is a safer location.
