Trolley
The River Rail Electric Streetcars are comprised of three replica vintage trolleys operating on 2.5 miles of new track. An overhead catenary wire powers the cars, linking vibrant destinations in the River Cities. These include the 18,000 seat Alltel Arena, the 220,000 square foot Statehouse Convention Center, the River Market, numerous loft apartments, hotels, two city halls, the Argenta neighborhood, restaurants, Historic Arkansas Museum, Discovery Museum, the main Library, two Chambers of Commerce, courthouses, the Robinson Auditorium Music Hall, Riverfront Amphitheater and dozens of office buildings.

The streetcar route uses the Main Street Bridge to connect the two cities. There are a total of eleven stops on Markham and Second Streets between Spring and Commerce Streets in Little Rock, and Main Street, Seventh Street and Maple Street in North Little Rock. The streetcars hold 44 people sitting down or 80 people sitting and standing.
