Railroad west is to the right when looking out the bay window. The depot was constructed in 1923. Also included in the photograph is the former railroad water tower. The depot address is 1 Railroad Place. Today it is the home of the Bristow Chamber of Commerce and the Bristow Historical Museum, 918-367-5151. Hope this helps. Thanks! Mark

That is westbound train No 537 heading to Oklahoma City, OK from Tulsa, OK. One of the streets in Bristow, OK had a wig-wag grade crossing signal until the early 1980s.
Here are photos I took of the Bristow, OK depot on 06-22-24. The city of Bristow and the Bristow Historical Society have done a nice job of preserving this depot and have a nice museum inside. More to follow.
More of the Bristow, OK depot. The day we visited, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution about the Right to Vote was on display and had displaced many of the normal railroad-related displays that we would have normally seen.
