Hi, I'm currently researching the history of a building I recently purchased on 1451 E Cherry St, Spfd MO. The building was built in 1917 and used by the D. W. Lumber Co. and later the Howell Coal Company. The lumber company owned a railroad spur. Below is a link to an article describing the building and spur (headline "Prepares for Coming Prosperity"). I'd be curious to find any railroad history regarding this stop. For example, when was the line constructed? Was it even a part of Frisco at that time? What are the chances there are photos of this spur? In the link (https://thelibrary.org/lochist/frisco/history/1962history.cfm), it states: "May 25, 1882, 25 miles southeast of Springfield completed." I'm wondering if this is referring to this line. Thanks in advance for your time.
