A visitor to many of the small towns of Arkansas will discover that one of the oldest buildings in the community is often the railroad depot. In the days of passenger trains, any town of modest size was usually home to such a structure. As passenger service declined over the years, many of the buildings, such as the one shown here in Coy (Lonoke County), were closed and left to decay.
