The Arkansas Railroad Club, of which I am a member for years, now has a Facebook page made by member Joe Roddy. It's in the formative stages, but we plan to put photos and news of railroads around Arkansas on that page from time to time. If you'd like to view the page and possibly 'Like' the page, click on:
http://www.facebook.com/ArkansasRailroadClub
I will continue my regular train-photo pages also, however, so nothing will change along those lines.
