Arkansas' only operating railroad
entered the war with a major gap between its two sections. The road was
intended to feed Arkansas produce to the Memphis & Charleston
Railroad at Memphis. The road was chartered in 1853. The Eastern
Division was completed to Madison in 1859. Construction on the Western Division
began in 1860 and was completed in 1862. |
