The Arkansas Southern Rialroad (ARS) began operations October 9, 2005.  Watco acquired the railroad from the KCS through a lease agreement.

The ARS consists of 61 miles of track on two branches.  The northern branch runs east from Heavener, OK to Waldron, AR.  The southern branch runs northeast from Ashdown to Nashville, AR.  The ARS interchanges with the KCS at Ashdown, AR and Heavener, OK and with the UP at Nashville.
