Historic Arkansas Missouri Train - Arkansas
Riding the Rails Through Northwest Arkansas
Historic Arkansas-Missouri Railroad | Car 106
Arkansas Missouri Train Ride captures the charm and history of one of Northwest Arkansas’s most beloved attractions—the ARKMO Railroad. This fine art photograph features car 106, taken during a scenic day-long adventure from Springdale to Van Buren. The journey included not just incredible views, but shopping, lunch, and a step back in time to a slower, simpler era when travel by rail was full of excitement and wonder.
The vibrant colors and historic detailing of the train car pull you in, transporting you to the heart of Arkansas’s rich rail history. The Springdale depot, the Van Buren shops, and the rolling hills in between—it’s a route filled with nostalgia and local pride. If you’re ever in the area, this experience is a must (and yes, you can still hop aboard: amrailroad.com).
This image has had quite the journey of its own—it was chosen to represent Northwest Arkansas and displayed in the Budget Hearing Room in Washington, D.C. from 2019 to 2021. It now hangs in our Representative's office, a quiet nod to the stories, connections, and beauty of the region.
Signed and titled Arkansas Missouri Train Ride, this piece brings with it a sense of movement, history, and Americana. It’s more than just a train photo—it’s a visual journey through time.
