Arkansas Code
Subchapter 2 - Railroad Incorporation Act of 1959
§ 23-11-203. Articles of incorporation

(a) The articles of incorporation of any contemplated railroad corporation shall contain all of the information prescribed for inclusion in the application to be filed with the Arkansas Department of Transportation by § 23-11-204. However, it shall not be necessary that the articles contain a statement of the manner in which the public convenience, necessity, and interest will be served by the granting of the charter, nor shall it be necessary that a preliminary survey of the proposed roadway or route be attached to the articles.
(b) The articles shall contain and set forth, subject to the limitations imposed by law or the Arkansas Constitution, those powers which it is desired by the incorporators that the contemplated corporation shall exercise. However, the statement of powers may be general in nature, and a general statement of powers in the articles shall not have the effect of prohibiting the corporation from exercising those powers specifically granted by the law of this state, unless so provided by the articles.
