This old train depot sits along side a road in a small town in Arkansas. It has no doubt been moved from another location because there are no railroad tracks nearby and it's been set upon concrete blocks.

This is the side door where passengers would have exited the building after purchasing a ticket in order to board a train. (I learned that from old movies :)

I hope to learn more about the history of this building and why it's seemingly just been moved and parked along the road as if it has no value.

Nothing was more up-to-date when it was built, or is more obsolete today, than the railroad station.
