Wheel chair lift
Title:  Wheel chair lift
Description:  One of the accommodations to the ADA, and good public facing policy, is a lift to get mobility challenged persons on and off the train. Given that a good number of riders are on in years, and need help getting on and off, this is a great idea. The crew gets set to take on riders.

Trestle 1
Title:  Trestle 1
Description:  A&M has three large bridges between Fayetteville and Van Buren, all of them back in the woods and virtually inaccessible from anywhere but the railroad. Even if you could get to them, the trees are so grown up you could not see them anyway. The view from up top is pretty basic, steel structure with track on top.
