Naming Rights - Streetcar | Sponsorship Program - Streetcar River Rail Routes River Rail Streetcar Project History
Phase I of the River Rail Streetcar Line began revenue operation on November 1, 2004.
Three replica vintage trolleys operate on the 2.5-mile route linking some of the most
vibrant destinations in the River Cities of Little Rock and North Little Rock.
The streetcars operate on an overhead power supply and travel across the Main Street Bridge
over the Arkansas River to connect the two cities. Passengers not only have great views
of the river and the Little Rock skyline, but are quick to spot the U.S.S. Razorback, a
World War II submarine now owned by the City of North Little Rock and anchored on the river's north shore.
In its first year of operation, River Rail carried 200,000 passengers.
Among the points of interest along the River Rail route are the 18,000-seat Alltel Arena,
the 220,00 square-foot Statehouse Convention Center, the River Market, numerous loft apartments,
hotels, two city halls, the historic Argenta neighborhood, restaurants, Historic Arkansas Museum,
Museum of Discovery, the main branch of the Central Arkansas Library System, two Chambers of Commerce,
courthouses, the Robinson Auditorium Concert Hall, Riverfront Amphitheater, dozens of office
buildings, fascinating shops and art galleries.
The DoubleTree Hotel; the historic Capital Hotel; the Little Rock Peabody Hotel and its "celebrity"
ducks; and the Courtyard By Marriott Downtown Hotel are on the route in Little Rock. The Riverfront
Wyndham Hotel is only a block away from the streetcar line in North Little Rock.River Rail Day Passes are $2 each and are available at these locations: LITTLE ROCK
