Cimarron Valley loading a grain train
Author: dcfbalcoS1

      The Cimarron Valley Railroad was loading a grain train at Hugoton, Kansas yesterday ( 7-4-15 ), using their SD/40-2 seen here. Out east on the lead were BNSF 5191, 6517 and 7361 for the trip back to Dodge City, Kansas.

Is the GP-7/slug set still there?

Nope, the slug set is no longer in Hugoton. Last report had the master in Dodge City and the slug in Sublette,KS..

I didn't realize Cimarron Valley had an SD40-2 in their fleet of power. Is it ever used for hauling freight on the main line or just loading, like seen above?

that loco is owned by the elevator, not the railroad.  when I worked for the CVR, they were having some problems with the geeps.

That is a straight SD40 from the appearance. Also of Canadian origin. Nice photos.
