Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Eureka Springs and North Arkansas RR sits on the NW edge of Arkansas in a small town that has been known since cave man days as a great place to soak in healing waters. The depot and railyard I wouldn't call a boneyard, but it has all the charm of presenting itself as a unique find, making visitors feel as though they are the first ones to find the antique treasures of the past. The photos tell it best. My favorite find was a 1951 Chevy wagon used as a Galloping Goose. I've seen and photographed many Galloping Geese, but this one is truly rare, and it still runs. The RR shuts down at the end of October. I would really like to see them offer more seasonal attractions like Polar Express and stay open the entire year. Again the professional period dress of their staff makes for a wonderful experience for the passengers.
