The Delta Valley & Southern is not the same railroad as the Delta Southern. The former was originally a Frisco branch, while the latter was a Missouri Pacific secondary line. DV&S is still shown on the BNSF website as a connecting carrier at Delpro, Arkansas.
The EMD AA built with the body of an E6.
Here is a link to their web site.. Has an e-mail link on it as well.

Is this not the old Mo Pac Route? Memphis to Tallulah, La " Route of the Delta Eagle" It was always considered a 'mini' streamline and was specifically built for the needs of its route. The Lead unit was an early 'odd' built Unit as it had a single prime mover and a baggage compartment in the locomotive.

does anyone know if the tiny Arkansas shortline delta valley & southern railroad is still in operation, or has it been shutdown?
