Righto! Colorado and Southern and Rio Grande both had a large seasonal traffic of sugar beets in Colorado. In fact, BNSF and UP may still have it.

This is an easy one for an SP fan--besides, I used to watch them around Davis, CA when they were hauled by cute little 2-8-0's.
I like your Train Trivia, keep it up!
