If you go into Little Rock, Ark and have a rental car; you might enjoy a side trip to Hoxie,Ark. it lays at the north/South BNSF (Thayer Sub), formerly Frisco (Memphis Springfield, Mo line) there former MoPac runs east and west (NLR to Walnut Ridge,Ar.). used to have a lot of traffic and it was very interesting as the diamons are at grade there. Now UP runs one way, Northbound.
You might find this lin to Railroad Forums by William H. Davis,jr odf some interest, about the Hoxie,Ar.area:
I had a chance several years ago to visit the railroad museum in Poplar Bluff, it is in the old Mo Pac Station, downtown, and was kind of an eclectic mix of a large HO railroad and memorabilia, with some outside displays of railroad cars, It was kind of interesting, but the local fans really made it of interest to me, on our visit there.
Hopefully, some of the Forum members from that area can respond to, and update current potentials for a trip there, and provide some tips for things to see, There used to be a member who lived around the Poplar Bluff area, maybe he will respond to your inquiry.
