We have the track plans for the gravity yard at the Arkansas Railroad Museum. They are quite large tho. Also if you call or write we will be very busy trying to get ready for our annual Train Show & Sale. So I suggest waiting till after April 5th. The number is 870-535-8819. If you can't get any help on this email me after the 15th. at cbrhs819@localnet.com

Try the Arkansas Railroad Museum in Pine Bluff. It is run by volunteers and members of the COTTON BELT Rail Historical Society. Gravity Yard opened for operation in 1958. Many of the members of the CBRHS are retired Cotton Belt employees.

I am looking for schematics and photos of the old SSW facilities at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. A few websites have some photos, but not much. Anybody know of any good sources?
