Pine Bluff Yard

[Anonymous]

Looking for any schematics and photos of SSW's facilities at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Any help or info would be appreciated.

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.

There is a great overhead photo hanging on the wall at the Museum of a good portion of the old yard next to the back shop. It is most likely from the 1940s as it shows a set of FTs and quite a bit of steam.

You might also consider joining either the CBRHS or the Yahoo Cotton Belt Group for more information.
