Founded in 1913, the San Luis Central Railroad (reporting mark SLC) was founded to haul sugar beets from grower to processor. The railroad was acquired in 1969 by the Pea Vine Corporation and today operates freight traffic through a connection with the San Luis and Rio Grande Railroad hauling mainly grain, potatoes and fertilizer. SLC is also a railcar owner, mostly refrigerator cars and boxcars. The railroad is 13 miles long located between Sugar Junction (Monte Vista, Colorado) and Center Colorado. The railroad owns two locomotives Electro Motive Division SW-8 number 70 and General Electric 70 ton locomotive number 71. The company is owned by Ed Burkhardt's Rail World.
