A relatively rare Arkansas Midland move to Galloway, Arkansas from North Little Rock on Saturday, February 9, 2008. I was on my way to the depot museum in Brinkley about 9:30 a.m. and saw the AKMD train switching at a plant in Galloway at the end of the line, so I decided to take a detour and get some photos. Arkansas Midland uses the former Rock Island line out of North Little Rock as far as Galloway, where a pile of rock on the track marks the end of the line (the other end of the former Rock Island is located at Danville, Arkansas west of Little Rock. Little Rock & Western operates the line west of Little Rock. The former Rock Island line is not continuous through North Little Rock, where AKMD and LRWN use the UP).

Arkansas Midland 414 at the plant at Galloway at 9:32 a.m. Feb 9. The pile of rock to the left is the end of the once-mighty Rock Island Sunbelt Line, that ran from Memphis to Tucumcari, New Mexico until the early 1980s.
