I was told by an OLD friend that MNA Railroad company had went bankrupt way back in the 50's. Yet just the other day here in Springfield I saw a train & few cars marked with MNA.. Anyone know much about this? Anyone have pics of railcars or engines, etc with MNA on them? I didn't have my camera with me at the time.... (A first)

The orginal MNA was decomissioned in the 40's. More info can be found here. viewtopic.php?t=1978
The MNA you saw is the current one. Pictures you asked about can be found here.

Does the A&M still run the red Alcos down there? Some time I'm going to have to go down there and check them out if they're still running.

Re: Missouri Northern Arkansas Railroad (MNA)
BTW Split, I have not forgotten we talked about a trip to the railroad tunnel on Holiday Island. I would still love to go check this out, but probably won't be anytime soon. So, since the weather is going to become a factor, looks like this may have to wait until spring. Don't give up on me though, I'm slowly getting my life in order.
