The Central Texas Gravel Locomotive No. 210 is a historic diesel-electric switch locomotive at the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It was built by General Electric in 1956, and is a well-preserved example of the second generation of GE's 25-ton switching locomotives, a popular model used widely in freight yards throughout the nation and internationally. This model was first used by the Central Texas Gravel Company, and then by the Gifford-Hill Company, which operated it at yards in Shreveport, Louisiana and . The locomotive was acquired by the museum in 2005, with plans to use it for moving rolling stock within its facilities.[2]
The locomotive was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
