Jack Haley was president of the CVAR and pioneered the concept of a dinner train and created the "Star Clipper". Haley later became president of the Chicago Central & Pacific,but was ousted in 1987, but retained ownership of the CVAR. The CVAR terminated operations in May, 1991, and the line was purchased by the CC&P. The line is now part of the Canadian National.
