History
See full history
The Cimarron Valley Railroad was incorporated on May 29 1996, when it acquired former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe trackage built around 1912 from Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. That same year the line began operating under the reporting mark CVR as part of The Western Group’s short‑line portfolio. In November 2009 the Kansas Department of Transportation and partner agencies announced plans to renovate and upgrade the route. On November 1 2020 Jaguar Transport Holdings purchased the Cimarron Valley Railroad, assuming ownership of the 254‑mile system.
