The Guns I told you about at St. Charles were sent by boat up the White River to Deval's Bluff where they were loaded onto the flatcars. The flatcars were at Deval's Bluff and not at St. Charles. So yes it is the same railroad.

It 1860 Mr.'s Snow and Ketchum, who had interests in both the Pine Bluff Telegraph Company and the Arkansas State Telegraph Company, advertised in I believe the Arkansas Gazette newspaper and probably others, that they needed 5,000 telegraph Poles 22 feet long, 8 inches in diameter at the base and 4 inches in diameter at the top, to run their telegraph line along the railroad line from Little Rock to Deval's Bluff. So not only did you have rail communication you also had the telegraph to communicate by.
