Loading Grain on the High Prairie |
| Description: |
A pair of elevators host a line of covered hoppers at Saunders, the last Kansas town on the CVR's former Santa Fe line to Springfield CO. The CVR normally runs only to Walsh CO, only 14 miles further west. The rails are still in through Springfield, although BNSF has been storing cars there as of late. |

Strangers in a Strange Land |
| Description: |
A pair of big NS units work a ballast train on the Cimarron Valley RY, a rather mundane assignment a long way from their home road. As Tim H points out in the comments, this is part of a state-funded effort to upgrade the CVO tracks in order to keep grain on the rails and off the roads. How two NS units ended up on this assignment beats me. NS 2593, an SD70M-2, trails. |
