Denver & Rio Grande No. 268, nicknamed Bumblebee, is a C-16 class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1882 for the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG), later known as the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW). It hauled trains on the D&RGW's narrow gauge system until the end of its operating time.
Today, it currently remains on display at the Pioneer Museum in Gunnison, Colorado.
