Western Railroad Discussion > Santa lives on the Cimarron Valley RRDate: 05/19/19 17:46 Santa lives on the Cimarron Valley RR Author: stlrailfan The Cimarron Valley RR in Satana KS is reviving this old Santa Fe paint scheme with a new fleet of General Electric engines coming to the railroad. CVR operates on former Santa Fe track in Kansas and Eastern Colorado and currently uses a fleet of GP30's , GP26's , SD50's and 1 B39-8. They are getting 7 GE's from GECX/LTEX all being ex CSX. Attached photo is of C40-8 # 4053 ( ex GECX # 9050 , ex CSX 7616 ) fresh from paint at Metro East Industries in East St Louis, IL on May 16th 2019. Taken and posted with both CVR and MEI permission.

Andy Date: 05/20/19 07:03 Re: Santa lives on the Cimarron Valley RR Author: g-spotter1 Its amazing how much thought went into some of the older schemes--railroady schemes, not generic clip art, that appears on BNSF and Amtrak units. That unit represents the old Santa Fe well. I like it!

Did you mean 'Santa Fe' lives on the CVR or was it a Christmas present from Santa ? Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/21/19 05:34 by dcfbalcoS1. Date: 05/21/19 08:46 Re: Santa lives on the Cimarron Valley RR Author: bmarti7 CBRL Wrote:

This is FAR from being new, same as a car being rebuilt it does not go back to 0. Probably sold them with some kind of maintenance agrement.

MILW86A Date: 05/21/19 14:47 Re: Santa lives on the Cimarron Valley RR Author: irhoghead Can their track handle these units?
Date: 05/21/19 14:50 Re: Santa lives on the Cimarron Valley RR Author: Hookdragkick Was that paint scheme known as the "book end"? Sharp GE!
