Also gathering material on Greenfield and Northern (Greenfield to Aurora, MO). Looking for photo of depots in Greenfield (not the S. Greenfield Frisco depot), Pennsboro, Miller, Mt. Vernon and Aurora (not Frisco depot). Also interested in any photos of equipment, trackside structures, track, bridges, etc. Any suggestions/help will be appreciated. Larry Murphy Manhattan, KS
Larry, I recommend that you look in the Frisco Library (link in column on the left) under The Real Frisco, Divisions, Northern Division (or Eastern Division) as well as under the individual Frisco Library, Operations, Depots, etc for what you seek. Follow this link to the overall index page to get to the links: http://www.frisco.org/vb/index.php You can also use the Search engine that appears at the upper right to help find context based information on a word or word phrase you type in. There has been a lot of discussion recently about the KCC&S and the KCOS. More than anything just dig in and browse. It is amazing what is available here.
The www.missouridepots.com website has a few photos which may interest you. You can look by roadname or by county and town. The "Railroads of Henry County" website, run by Mike Good, a librarian in Clinton, is another good source: http://tacnet.missouri.org/history/railroads/index.html
Contact me directly at renapper@centurylink.net and I will send you my Frisco Depot Photo List, I have just about every depot you are interested in. I am on the wrong conputer to do it now. Richard
