    Last I checked, the depot is still standing in Antlers, OK.

    It is occupied as a museum. Just south of the depot, there was a pulpwood loading facility serviced by Frisco, BN and Kiamichi.

    Later after Kiamichi rehabilitated the line between Hugo, OK and Antlers, OK Georgia-Pacific built a log-loading facility south of Antlers and moved all of its operations there.

    There is still a bit of main line and a siding, but the track does not exist north of Antlers, having been taken up in 1982.

    I have a mile marker sign from near Kiamichi on this line, sitting in my garage.

    The depot's agent / operator bay faces southwest. Railroad west is to the right.

    The depot address is 119 West Main Street. The depot is currently occupied by the Pushmataha County Historical Museum.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!

    Please see the following link for historical information and a depot plan.

    This is a nice post on Wikipedia for one of our railroad's remaining depots. It is a great idea and would give another opportunity for us to share information and promote the Frisco to others.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks!
