Cimarron Valley Railroad
The Cimarron Valley Railroad was built c. 1912 and purchased from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad in February 1996. It runs over former C.V. and Manter Subdivisions of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad tracks in Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas. One line runs from Dodge City, KS to Boise City, OK, the other from Satanta, KS to Springfield, CO. It runs a total of 254 miles of track primarily hauling agricultural commodities, along with sand, cement, poles, pipe, and fertilizers. CVR is one of several short-line railroads operated by The Western Group of Ogden, Utah.
As of November 2009, the Kansas Department of Transportation and partners are planning a renovation and upgrade of the line.
