The Cotton Belt Railroad Depot is a historic railroad station at the junction of Main and 1st Streets in downtown Fordyce, Arkansas. The single-story brick building was built by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway, also commonly known as the Cotton Belt Railroad. The building is predominantly Craftsman in its styling, with extended eaves that have elaborately styled brackets.[1]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
The station used to host the Morning Star and Lone Star until these trains were replaced by unnamed trains.
Also near the station is a preserved steam locomotive, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia 101.
