The last train robbery in Arkansas took place in the small town of Olyphant (Jackson County), when bandits robbed the seven-car Train No. 51 of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway, which was pulled off to a side track so that the Cannonball Express, a much faster train, could pass. What followed was a sensationalized manhunt and the execution of three bandits involved in the incident.
