    If the era is right for you, here's an example of foreign power riding on Frisco turntables.

    From the Frisco Employee's Magazine, September 1927, in the Fort Scott Mechanical Department News:

    "Since the middle of July we have been turning Missouri Pacific engines - 1400 and 1500 class - daily on the Frisco turntable. This is some new power that the Missouri Pacific has recently routed through Ft. Scott and their table is not large enough to turn these engines."

    Some aerial shots of the yards from the 1960s.

    The photographer is unknown.
