A very blue Cimarron Valley Railroad train rolls down the former Santa Fe CV Subdivision near Rolla, Kansas with a single tank car in tow. The lead locomotive is a Southwestern Railroad EMD GP28 (the Southwestern Railroad and the Cimarron Valley Railroad share the same parent company). The second locomotive, belonging to the CVR, is an EMD GP30, a model that the CVR has always been particularly fond of. |
