Delta Valley and Southern Railway

The Delta Valley and Southern Railway (reporting mark DVS) is a short-line railroad headquartered in Wilson, Arkansas.

DVS operates a two-mile line in Arkansas near Wilson with one switch engine.

[citation needed] Originally constructed in the 1890s as a narrow gauge line to haul timber, this 18.1-mile (29.1 km) St. Louis-San Francisco Railway branch line ran from Evadale Junction (south of Wilson, Arkansas) in Mississippi County to Deckerville (south of Tyronza, Arkansas) in Poinsett County.

[7] As of 1996[update], the railroad operated from its engine house at the present end of the line to a connection with the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) south of Wilson.

[13] Numbered as 34 by the Jonesboro, Lake City and Eastern Railroad before that line was sold to the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway ("Frisco") in 1925, the locomotive was renumbered to 73 and kept by the Frisco until sold on September 19, 1945, to the Delta Valley and Southern.

[13] It is preserved on the Lee Wesson Plantation in Victoria, Arkansas[14] under the Delta Valley & Southern Locomotive No.
