Crocker, MO. There were at least two different depots at Crocker. The "Standard Station" type has been shortened and moved a half block north, and rotated 90 degrees, for use by the Crocker Chamber of Commerce. Doug
I visited Crocker, MO today. I posted some photographs of SLSF 1418 under the caboose section. I also took some photographs of the original depot site and of the original depot which is about a block or two away. It is in great shape! It is worth a visit to Crocker, if you are driving by.
From Richard Crabtree on Frisco Rails Across Missouri. Here we are at the Frisco depot in Crocker, Missouri. Crocker was platted in 1869, and named after South Pacific Railroad, a predecessor to Frisco, shareholder Uriel Crocker. Beginning as early as the 1920s, Uriel Crocker was often misidentified as Eurilis J. Crocker. A post office called Crocker has been in operation since 1872. The Frisco depot was constructed there in 1888.
