We Make Freight Our Business...
The Arkansas & Missouri Railroad (A&M) was established in 1986 as a Class III Railroad operating a 150 mile 
route from Monett, Missouri to Fort Smith, Arkansas. A&M’s corporate headquarters is located in Springdale, Arkansas; major operations are based there and Fort Smith. The company provides freight services to customers along its route and excursion passenger service between 
Springdale and Van Buren / Fort Smith. A&M interchanges traffic with three Class I railroads: Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), Kansas City Southern (KCS), and the Union Pacific (UP), as well as the Fort Smith Railroad (FSR). All lines are rated at 286,000 lbs and cleared for double stack rail cars, and main lines feature continuous welded rail.
