From Ron Williams: Here is the list of Frisco Depot floorplans I have. The spreadsheet also indicates if I have a photographs and its era. I have now added what towns I have interchange maps. The interchange maps have no date on them but given some of the railroads listed for interchange I would estimate that they are early 1900s. Still interesting in that on the back of each sheet is the name of the industry that corresponds with the number on the map.
Wow Ron, that's quite a reference source there. Does the bold type mean you have photos of the depot? <Dream Mode: ON> It would be so cool to recreate in V scale the Frisco lines of my region during the 1900's that have been so fascinating to me over the decades. Primarily that would be: Fort Smith Subdivision Arthur Subdivision to Poteau, OK Mansfield Branch St. Paul Branch <Dream Mode: OFF> Fact is, I have track in place from just north of Meadows, AR all the way south to just past Maney Jct./Rock Island, OK. The entire Mansfield Branch, and the Midland Valley from Maney Jct. to Greenwood, AR, and their line to Hartford, AR. I also have the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern in place at Van Buren, AR, out to Cherokee Jct., over to Fort Smith and on to Greenwood, AR to connect with the MV! I like to lay track. Andre Ming
Ron, Thanks for the Excel file of your Frisco depot floor plans. I have four Frisco Excel photo lists - Depots and interlocking towers, Diesels, Steam Locomotives, and Rolling stock. I would be glad to e-mail the lists to anyone interested. Just e-mail me at renapper@ceturylink.net. Richard
Richard, This site is a great place to post the lists for all to access. Ron, Thank you for the list. It would be great to expand the Excel file with the railroads at each interchange point. I am willing to help with the project. Now to get the interchange diagrams posted on the site. Hope this helps. Thanks! Mark
Richard, Qhat does VFAP stand for? Would you be willing to make some of these available or maybe do some trading? Tim
You might call these "maps" station plats except they tend to be more schematic in nature. They do show the numerical locations of the industries served. On the back is the list with the names next to the corresponding numbers.
Mark, Rather than use the word interchange it may be possible to list the railroad(s) by initials. Guess we have to pick an era. What I have isn't dated but based on the types of industries and the many railroads I've never heard of, surprise, I'm guessing these interchange maps are early 1900s.
Richard, I've looked at the list you posted and must praise you for the excellent job of keeping track of who the photographer was, etc. My list is sadly very inadequate in that regard since when I started this I was accumulating primarily for my own benefit I never figured I'd have an opportunity to share and need to include credits.
