The specific purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of providing adequate rail service to an industrial park located at Ozark, Franklin County, Arkansas. Basically, the study was to investigate the following: The alignment of grades necessary to provide rail service from the existing spur track located at Charleston, Arkansas; An estimate of construction cost for an overland spur from Charleston, Arkansas; A study of the physical facilities required to 'barge' large rail cars and switch engines across the Arkansas River from the main line of the Missouri Pacific track to the industrial site; A study of the operation and maintenance requirements of the rail-barge facilities; A projection of the estimated cost of switching based upon an original destination study of the anticipated rail traffic from Brown Manufacturing Company and other types of industry that would logically locate in this industrial park.
