    From Richard Crabtree on Frisco Rails Across Missouri.

    Here we are at the Frisco depot in Niangua Missouri.

    The first settlement was made at Niangua prior to the Civil War.

    A post office called Niangua has been in operation since 1870.

    The community takes its name from the nearby Niangua River in Webster County Missouri.

    The Frisco erected a depot here in 1891.

  2. Webster County sure had lot of Frisco tracks.

    Edit 3/26/2024: The northern track is the Lebanon Subdivision.

    The southern track is the Willow Springs Subdivision.
