Looking west, the yard limit marker is the end of the line at Elwood, KS on tracks that had been used over the years by UP (St Joseph & Grand Island), RI, OKKT and NEKM. Abandoned in 2004 when the UP bought out the NEKM, this route is disconnected in sections for several hundred yards east of here and then runs about two miles to St Joseph via the bridge over the Missouri River. What's left appears to be used largely for car storage now. |

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. |

At the Border |

A marker stands at the Kansas/Colorado border on the CVR's former ATSF line to Springfield CO. This actually looks west into Colorado. An identical pylon on the other side was broken up and in the ditch. |

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. |
