Arkansas Midland Railroad (AKMD)

Multiple businesses were utilizing Arkansas Midland Railroad’s (AKMD) Jackson Street rail spur in Monticello, Arkansas, to transport inbound raw materials or outgoing products. But the spur was located within a busy residential area – causing frequent delays at rail crossings throughout the community. Monticello’s economic development director began working with AKMD on a solution: build a transload / reload facility at the Monticello Industrial Park, enabling AKMD to unload freight to truck for final customer delivery.
