ALCO HH-660 Numbers 101 & 102
Two HH-660 locomotives were acquired by the railroad in 1939 to supplement the switching duties in Centennial and Cheyenne. These two locomotives were the Colorado Central's first diesel locomotives and proved very successful. Although older, they are in very good condition and provide additional switching capability.

ALCO S1 and S3s, 310-314
The early S1s, acquired in 1941, soon became the Northern Division’s primary switchers. The S3 units are dispersed throughout the railroad with two working out of Centennial and Cheyenne.
ALCO S2s, 610-611
These 1000HP units provide switching support at the Aurora Yard.
ALCO RS-1s Number 1201 and 1204
10 RS-1s were ordered in 1941, but to the War Production Board decision to send units to Russia, they were not delivered until 1943. They provided much needed power to support the war effort. By 1956, they began it wear out and were either sold for scrap or to smaller railroads elsewhere in the country. Today only 2 remain in the fleet. The B-B truck arrangement was somewhat tougher on the lighter branch line rail, leading to the decision to adopt a six-wheel truck arrangement in the future. The units remained in their black livery throughout their lives, with the exception of 1201, which received the new yellow and black scheme. Few modifications were made to the units from their “as delivered” configuration.
