In 2012, All Aboard looked west for its latest route creation and rediscovered a personal favorite, the Fort Smith to Heavener section of the Springdale to Heavener ran by the Arkansas-Midland railroad.
The Fort Smith To Heavener length is a robust 50 miles long but there's more to this section of the route than just mainline. If you love switching,this route is for you! Lots of industries populate this
section of the route ranging from small to very, very large. The Fort Smith To Heavener route was recreated faithfully by All Aboard to include landmark features as well as digital satellite placement so
most trees, even sporadic ones are in the same place. In some places changes were made but the enjoyment of this route is more than just a historical representation. Let me put it to you this way.
If you love mainline running the Fort Smith To Heavener offers a generous run from Heavener to Van Buren, a robust 50 miles with frequent grade changes though mostly mild.
The Fort Smith To Heavener offers an abundance in industries to switch with most being in the Fort Smith area. Hefty yards are featured in Heavener, Fort Smith and the largest in Van Buren.
The Fort Smith To Heavener route comes with 18 scenarios, 9 free-roam scenarios and a manual complete with schematics.
Below are pictures which provide a brief look at the Fort Smith To Heavener route.
