Surprisingly, there are dozens of very small railroads (less than 10 miles) still in operation. One that may have been the one your are looking for was the Augusta Railroad- 1 mile. Connected the town of Augusta, AR with the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern. Its major freight was cotton. Begun in 1887 as a horsecar line called the Augusta Tramway and Transfer Company, the railroad purchased a Porter 0-4-0T in 1900 and later two 0-4-4T Forneys. In 1918, the railroad was sold and reorganized as the Augusta Railroad. In 1926, the line purchased 2-6-0 300 from Alco Cooke, a loco that had been built for the Virginia Central but apparently not delivered. Two diesels were subsequently purchased, model unknown. The line was abandoned in 1958, with #300 going on display in Paragould, AR, and subsequently in Michigan
