Klarr Locomotive Industries LLC a new group has just bought CVR 3014, an ex-DRGW GP30. They are bringing it to Utah with a goal of leasing it to the Broken Arrow salt plant in Flux (Grantsville Utah), while in the mean time preparing a permanent home for the GP30 in preservation. If possible the group is looking into also acquiring sister locomotive CVR 3004 for a similar purpose if fundraising can be made. This news was just broken on Utah Rail Enthusiasts on Facebook by Derrick Klarr, one of the leaders of the new group. |

How long will it work at the Broken Arrow salt plant? I know I quite enjoy "working" preserved locos like the one that the ACLHS sold to Conrad Yelvington in ACL paint. |

No idea how long it will be there yet. Sort of a "as long as its needed and used" type of deal from what I understand. This isn't the first time Broken Arrow has done this, they took a diesel from the NRHS and used it there until the unit was retired and sent to the Utah State Railroad Museum. |

I could not help but take notice of the intended location for the locomotive's lease. To a salt plant. I would think that accumulated time there would accelerate metal deterioration. |

Ok, thanks. Cimarron Valley Railroad. Where is it located? Is it a common-carrier shortline? A tourist line? A non-profit museum? A locomotive leasing company? Please don't assume that most people automatically know what you're talking about, when you simply give cryptic initials or abbreviations. Certain operations have name recognition: "Strasburg". "Spencer/NCTM". "Steamtown". "Cumbres & Toltec". "CVR" does not. The old journalism standard of the Five Ws should apply: Who, what, where, when, why. Howard P. |

Broken Arrow has been very friendly to preservation in the past. Ex-Utah Railway nee-ATSF Alco RSD-15 401 was the product of one of their endeavors in which a locomotive owned by a preservation group (NRHS) was leased to them to recoup the cost of purchase, then donated to a museum (the Utah State Railroad Museum). The 401 needs paint but it doesn't appear to have any more physical deterioration than 40 years without new paint will cause. |
