History
Arkansas Short Line Railroads, Inc. was established to manage and operate small regional rail lines across Arkansas. The company’s roots trace back to the 20th century when it began taking over short lines that served local agricultural and industrial communities. Over the years, Arkansas Short Line has expanded its operations, including the acquisition and management of lines like the Dardanelle and Russellville Railroad. These lines historically transported cotton and coal but now focus on goods like pulp board, plastics, and forest products. By maintaining these vital transportation links, Arkansas Short Line continues to support the region’s economy.
