The Townsend Express at the Townsend River Walk & ArboretumThe Townsend Express at the Townsend River Walk & Arboretum

The Townsend Express established in 2025 is not only a child's wonderland but it also symbolizes the history of the Little River Railroad that ran along this same path.  The Townsend River Walk & Arboretum's main path is actually built over the Little River Railroad tracks bed which then became State Route 73 and was eventually abandoned when it was rebuilt above it where US 321 now is situated.
