    Looked at it years ago when in bad shape.

    Thought about buying and rehabbing, but, no denaro at the time.

    It is beautiful now!

    I would have to check with Mike Sypult, but the brick Rogers, AR depot may have been torn down and replaced prior to the merger.

  3. Some remaining Frisco depots are listed.

    With winter gone, it now is good weather to ride the back highways to see what depots remain and likely an old caboose to two. Perhaps an old locomotive too.

  4. Important note for Oklahoma!

    The Le Flore, OK depot was relocated to the Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City late last year.

    Would be a futile trip going to Le Flore as the depot is no longer there.

    The Augusta, Kansas depot is still standing and is being used by the Chamber of Commerce.

    Therefore, it is still possible to visit.

    The former New Iberia and Northern (NI&N) / former Missouri Pacific (MP) freight house still stands in New Iberia LA.

    The NI&N was built as a Frisco venture in 1909 but was spun off of the Frisco in 1914. If that building was built before 1914, likely, it could be a Frisco design or maybe Rock Island.

    Some of the depots, all gone now, on the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico (NOT&M) mainline were Yoakum era Rock Island designs predating the Gulf Coast Lines (GCL) spin off to the Missouri Pacific.

    It is in this album. I can’t seem to make it separate by itself.

    Here’s a 1980s photo of the New Iberia LA freight house still in service. “Is it”. or “is it not” a Frisco building?

    To the Missouri list you can add Puxico, West Plains and Illmo, per Chris Abernathy.

    And to the Arkansas list you can add Mammoth Springs.

    The Frisco depot still exists here at Poteau, OK, though modified somewhat by the city/state for their use.

    I can get a picture of it and post here when the time/weather allows.

  12. New Iberia, LA, originally built by the T&NO, owned by the Louisiana & Delta and used as the railroad’s primary offices.

    Additionally, a former MP freight depot here still stands.

    In short, in New Iberia the Missouri Pacific (MP) and Texas and New Orleans (T&NO) were two separate railroads, each with a succession of corporate predecessors.

    The T&NO has nothing to do with the former MP freight house shown above.

    The MP line, a 50 mile branch off of the NOT&M, itself a Frisco subsidiary at one point, was originally built as a Frisco sponsored venture.

    Here’s the detailed story:

    Once I saw, but have not been able to locate again, a photograph of that building in 1919.

    However, that is still not early enough to place in before 1914 in Frisco Times.
