Little Rock Port Authority

Company History: The LRPA was built in 1967 to provide rail service to the City of Little Rock’s port facilities on the Arkansas River. Construction of the railroad was more in expectation than immediate need – it would be five years before a revenue train ran. Today, their 20 miles of track serves more than 20 customers in and around the port. Loaded cars are switched for a flat rate of $300.
