Caddo Valley Railroad reporting mark|CVYR is a short-line railroad headquartered in Glenwood, Arkansas.

CVYR operates a 52 mile line in Arkansas from Gurdon, Arkansas (where it interchanges with Union Pacific) to Bird Mill, Arkansas.

The line was initially owned by Missouri Pacific, a predecessor of Union Pacific, and was sold to Arkansas Midland Railroad (AKMD) in 1992, then in 2000 sold by AKMD to its present owners under a forced sale ordered by the Surface Transportation Board.

CVYR and AKMD are currently involved in a controversy regarding a planned sale of CVYR to Pioneer, a shortline operator. AKMD claims that, under the provisions of the sale, before the line can be sold to another party, AKMD must be given the first opportunity to repurchase it. A hearing is currently pending as of May 2006. [http://www.stb.dot.gov/decisions/readingroom.nsf/51d7c65c6f78e79385256541007f0580/bf38846828e307248525716c006a0353?OpenDocument]
