Publication Date: 2017
Physical Details: 151 pp., illustrations, maps, index, bib.
Language: English

240 of the illustrations are period photographs of St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern structures made before 1925. The remaining illustrations are maps and period brochures. Also included are color period advertising items and maps. Many of the depots in the book were torn down by the 1930's due to the building of all weather roads which reduced the need for facilities in many smaller locations. "Keeping the modeler and rail historian in mind, the photos were printed as large as possible. The captions include what types of rail customers were at the different locations (saw mills, wagon manufacturers, livestock dealers, etc). The number of stock pens and capacity of stock cars is also provided. The photos are organized in geographical order so the reader will see the stations as they would riding a passenger train through Arkansas. The chapter with the depot photos starts at Corning, Arkansas and then goes through to Texarkana. It then goes from Little Rock to the Ft. Smith area with several branch lines being documented.
