More Than Great Freight

The Arkansas and Missouri Railroad is an independent, Class III railroad serving a 139 mile corridor from Fort Smith, AR to Monett, MO. Click here to see a full system map. Together with our affiliates, we are committed to continually improving our transportation services for the long-term success of the Company and the communities we serve.

We are somewhat unique in our industry in offering a wide breadth of transportation services and choices. Our bread-and-butter railcar freight business provides our customers with choice through three Class I railroad interchanges (, and ). Additionally, we can supply railcars for our direct customers’ or others’ use on reasonable terms.

Working with several business partners, we also move freight in tandem with barges traveling the Arkansas River. For customers not directly located on our line, our affiliates and third parties provide rail service through transloading of goods to and from trucks.

Our affiliate, Ozark Transmodal, Inc. (OTI) supplies these transloading services at Fort Smith and Springdale, AR with specially designed facilities. OTI can also store customers’ goods in a modern, 40,000 square foot warehouse in Fort Smith that is easily accessible to interstate highways. With OTI’s local truck hauling services, we offer a full range of logistics choices to our valued clients.

At Gateway, AR (on the Missouri state line), our affiliate offers concrete sand for sale to customers in far northwest Arkansas and southwestern Missouri. OTI now also offers truck hauling of sand for a total delivery system.

Finally, we operate a passenger excursion train as a major tourist draw. The train takes in the scenic and rugged Boston Mountains (an extension of the Ozarks) in its travels from the Springdale, Van Buren, and Fort Smith, Arkansas depots.

Railfan Postscript

The A&M is unique in its exclusive reliance on ALCO locomotives for its locomotive power. A significant number of fans from across the U.S. and other countries visit the A&M to take pictures from public roadsides of our engines as they pass by with a load of freight.

Fan Club membership continues to grow with interest and enthusiasm with members from different states and countries. The gift shop/museum has a lot of train artifacts and logo items for guests to enjoy and learn about the railroads and the Orphan Trains.

Combine (Car 102) retired from the A&M Line to the St. Louis Transportation Museum at the end of 2001. Built in 1899, by the Boston and Maine Railroad in Concord, New Hampshire. The Combine has run on the A&M Line since the excursions began. Being over 102 years old, it has well served many railroads and will be missed by A&M and it's many passengers.
