|Other than an optimistic 1872 map suggesting the merger of the Arkansas Central, Helena & Corinth, and the Pine Bluff & Southwestern to form this,[[https://www.mapsofthepast.com/railroad-colton-texas-northeastern-tx-map-1872.html 1872 map of Texas & Northeastern Railway]- Retrieved 2019-05-19][{{cite web|url= https://www.loc.gov/item/98688577/ |title= Maps showing Arkansas Central, the Helena & Corinth, and the Pine Bluff & Southwestern Railroads together forming the Texas & Northeastern Railway|publisher=Library of Congress|accessdate=September 6, 2024}}] no evidence such a combined railway got off the ground. The Arkansas Central later became part of the Arkansas Midland Railroad. No info at all re: the existence of the others. |
