History
On July 20, 1906 the Arkansas Louisiana and Gulf Railway was chartered to build a line from Monroe, Louisiana, to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The line was completed from Monroe to Hamburg, Arkansas, (56.2 miles) and from Rolfe Jct. to Crossett, Arkansas, (5.3 miles) and opened October 1, 1908. On May 29, 1913, the company was placed in receivership and reorganized in December 1915 as the Arkansas & Louisiana Midland Railroad. The Arkansas & Louisiana Missouri Railway was organized July 31, 1920 as successor to the A&LM and the assets of that company were sold to Arkansas Louisiana & Mississippi on September 27, 1991. Genesee & Wyoming, Inc. bought the line in January 2004.
