About this property

The Pyatt Tunnel is a historic railroad tunnel in Marion County, Arkansas. It is a 660-foot (200 m) tunnel, hewn through bedrock beneath a ridge north of Crooked Creek and southeast of the city of Pyatt. The tunnel's portals are unimproved, and the tunnel itself has no concrete reinforcement, unlike other tunnels on the White River Division of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, which passes through it. The tunnel was built in 1903–1904, and is one of seven railroad tunnels in the state. The tunnel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
