The Ouachita Railroad Company (reporting mark OUCH) is a short-line railroad headquartered in El Dorado, Arkansas.
OUCH operates a 26.2 mile line in Arkansas and Louisiana from El Dorado (where it interchanges with Union Pacific) to Lille, Louisiana.
OUCH traffic generally consists of lumber, chemicals, and particleboard.
The line was formerly part of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad until its liquidation. The line was then operated by the South Central Arkansas Railway from 1982-1983, when it was sold to the East Camden and Highland Railroad (EACH). EACH sold the line to Arkansas Shortline Railroads, Inc., a short-line railroad holding company, in 1990.
Famous quotes containing the word railroad:
“People that make puns are like wanton boys that put coppers on the railroad tracks. They amuse themselves and other children but their little trick may upset a freight train of conversation for the sake of a battered witticism.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
