Here's a guess... the engine finds its way to Alamosa (or other shop location), and all the usable parts are removed- generator, headlight, rods, maybe wheel sets, etc. Then the hulk is either cut in smaller pieces and shipped out, or hauled in one piece to somewhere like Pueblo (remember CF&I is there) to be finished off.
