The Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railroad runs through Turrell. Two major lines of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Springfield Division converge at Turrell (the Thayer South and the River subdivisions), which funnel trains from the Springfield, Missouri, yard and the St. Louis yard, respectively, to Turrell. Once these two lines converge, the trackage then goes to Memphis. The railroad was formerly the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway (better known as the Frisco). The Frisco Railroad was absorbed by the Burlington Northern in 1980.
According to the United States Census Bureau, Turrell has a total area of 5.4 square miles (14.0 km2), of which 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2), or 0.33%, is water." (
