The Rock Island train order office and freight house in Ruston, Louisiana was located at 301 West Alabama Avenue. The Rock Island ended all operations on 31 March 1980, but the line from Ruston north to Eldorado, Arkansas was acquired by the South Central Arkansas Railroad (SCK) in May 1982. In late 1983, the East Camden & Highland succeeded the SCK as operator of the line between Lillie, Louisiana and El Dorado, and the track between Lillie and Ruston was abandoned. This building became a branch of the Community Trust Bank in 1990. |
