The Augusta kansas depot is still standing and is being used by the chamber. Therefore, it is still possible to visit. Tony LaLumia
The ex NI&N / ex MP freight house still stands in New Iberia LA. The NI&N was built as a Frisco venture in 1909 but was spun off of the Frisco in 1914. If that building was built before 1914, likely, it could be a Frisco design.... or maybe Rock Island. Some of the depots, all gone now, on the NOT&M mainline were Yoakum Rock Island designs predating the GCL spin off. It is in this album. I can’t seem to make it separate by itself. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/archiveThumbs.aspx?id=22076
Here’s a 1980s photo of the New Iberia LA freight house still in service. “Is it”. or “is it not” a Frisco building?
To the Missouri list you can add Puxico and West Plains (and Illmo, per Chris Abernathy.). And to the Arkansas list you can add Mammoth Springs. Ken McElreath
FWIW: The Frisco depot still exists here at Poteau, OK, though modified somewhat by the city/state for their use. I can get a picture of it and post here when the time/weather allows. Andre
New Iberia: Originally built by the T&NO, owned by the Louisiana & Delta and used as the railroad’s primary offices. Additionally, a former MP freight depot here still stands,.
In short, in New Iberia the MP and T&NO were two separate railroads, each with a succession of corporate predecessors. The T&NO has nothing to do with the former MP freight house shown above. The MP line, a 50 mile branch off of the NOT&M, itself a Frisco subsidiary at one point, was originally built as a Frisco sponsored venture. Here’s the detailed story: https://www.classicstreamliners.com/rr-gcl.html Once I saw, but have not been able to locate again, a photo of that building in 1919, but that is still not early enough to place in before 1914 in Frisco Times.
