Leachville station

The Blytheville, Leachville and Arkansas Southern Railroad Depot-Leachville is a historic railroad station at the junction of 2nd and McNamee Streets in Leachville, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with an asphalt roof and wide overhanging eaves. The telegrapher's station is in a small projection on the track side of the building. The station, which provided both passenger and freight service, was built in 1910 by the Blytheville, Leachville and Arkansas Southern Railroad, a small regional railroad seeking to provide additional means for area farmers to bring their products to a wider market.

The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
