The Missouri and North Arkansas (reporting mark M&NA) was a railroad in Missouri and Arkansas from 1906 to 1935, with its successor lasting until 1946.[1][2]

History

The railroad began as the Eureka Springs Railway in 1883 as a line from the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway ("Frisco") in Seligman, MO, reaching the resort town of Eureka Springs, AR in 1883.[1] In May of 1899, the line was conveyed to a newly-formed company, the St. Louis and North Arkansas Railroad, which intended to build all the way to Little Rock.[1] The railroad was extended east, reaching Harrison, AR in 1901, and included a branch into Berryville, AR.[3] Leslie, AR was reached in 1903.[1]

The railway was reorganized as the M&NA in 1906.[1] It continued to expand, and while never reaching Little Rock, it arrived in Kensett, AR in 1908, and Helena, AR in 1909.[1] In addition, the railroad was extended northwest from Wayne, MO to Neosho, MO in 1908.[1] This section was accessed utilizing trackage rights over Frisco rails between Seligman and Wayne. Joplin, MO was reached using trackage rights via the Kansas City Southern Railway ("KCS") from Neosho, Missouri.[3]

Several communities were established by the railroad to generate revenue from passenger service. These included Monark Springs, Aroma, Stark City, Fairview, Wheaton, and Ridgley.[4]

In August 1914, a steam locomotive owned by the KCS collided with a M&NA doodlebug, killing thirty-eight passengers and five crew members.[5][1][6] In March 1918, the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that the KCS and MN&A should share liability and pay their own costs.[7]

The Missouri and Arkansas Railway was created in April of 1935 to take over the M&NA property.[1] However, operations were discontinued by that company in September of 1946.[1] Most of the line was abandoned that year, with much of it salvaged by April of 1949.[1] But several segments were reactivated. The Seligman-to-Harrison portion was operated by the Arkansas and Ozarks Railway between February 1950 and May, 1960.[1] The Helena-to-Cotton Plant portion was operated by the Helena and Northwestern Railway between October 1949 and November 1951.[1] Finally, the Cotton Plant-Fargo Railway operated between those two locations from April 1952 into the 1970's.[1]

About 2.5 miles of the line around Eureka Springs continues to be operated by the Eureka Springs and North Arkansas Railway.
