- Enjoy the history of Eureka Springs, Arkansas and its railroad illustrated with numerous still photos. A heritage railway eventually replaced the original line so ride this scenic route or feast on a delicious meal in the dining car. Produced in 1992 when the Eureka Springs & North Arkansas was running both steam and diesel locomotives. 30 minutes.
The 201 now resides on display at the restored train depot in Anna Texas
Thanks for updating this! I love this train. What a sight.
Thank you for posting this! I've been meaning to convert my VHS copy of this.
My pleasure. I'm glad I could help.
I was up there about seven years ago. The place was a dump. Not sure how it went from so good looking in the film to what it is now.
Been there a week ago, it looks just fine. Rode the train about 7 years ago and it was fine then too. There IS an ancient and absolutely decrepit and very cool looking old depot a little further down the road, maybe that's what you saw? The working one needs a bit of polish, but it isn't a dump. Would definitely recommend paying for a ride, especially in fall, the scenery is incredible.
Is THIS the train that came from Tyndall park in Benton Arkansas?
The #226 steam locomotive came from the city park in Benton, yes. It's the only remaining steam locomotive on the property, since the woodburner #1 was returned to the Reader Railroad, and oil-burner #201 went back there last year for cosmetic restoration. As I understand it, she is to become a park locomotive in Anna, Texas.

Me: Hey guys I think this place has water...oh sorry, _extraordinary water..._
Expensive water. I wish I could sell mineral water in bottles! Of course, the bottle cost more than the water.
Does anyone think they'll restore their steam engine to operating condition
Someone on FaceBook say it will not be restored to operating condition. They said the RR ha an agreement to restore it cosmetically so it could be displayed in a park in some city in Arkansas, Now, that is third hand information so believe it if you want.
