Here are a few photos of Arakansas and Missouri  Railroad locomotives and facilities in Springdale, Arkansas October 6, 2008. Also, since Wal-Mart's worldwide Corporate Headquarters are located in nearby Bentonville, AR, I drove up there to look at the very first Wal-Mart store (started by Sam Walton, May 9, 1950). The initial store, called Walton's 5-10, is now the Wal-Mart museum. (Ken Ziegenbein photos)
