Berryville fights to keep spur line from scrapping
Berryville officials plan to sue to block the Arkansas and Ozarks Railroad from ripping up a 3 percent mile spur into the city or selling the right of way. City Attorney J E Simpson said Berryville owns the track segment and would seek to retain rails and crossings, arguing the 1901 contract with St Louis and North Arkansas Railroad was violated when the A and O sought abandonment of its route. Berryville supplied the right of way, culverts, bridges and depot in 1902 and the railroad had agreed to lay tracks and operate passenger and freight services as long as the population stayed above the 1900 census figure.
