I was wondering if anyone knows if there ever was a railroad called the Arkansas R.R.? <br /> <br />Today I got an old Plastimarx O gauge train set from ebay. Plastmarx was the Mexican branch of Marx, which did make some toy trains which were only available in Mexico, which are now collectors' items. Anyway, in my set the caboose is lettered for the Arkansas R.R. and also has a big "A" on it. I was curious if such a railroad really existed. I was chatting this mrning with Jim H. (jhhtrainsplanes), who's from Arkansas and he's never heard of it. I also checked out some sites on the internet and there doesnt seem to have been any such railroad. I did, however, find out that there was an Arkansas Short Line RR which was 31.7 miles long and built in 1922, which later became part of the Cotton Belt. <br /> <br />I have my doubts as to there having been this railroad, but I just thought I'd post it here in case someone does know something about it. You never know.
