Photo's my father had of the last passenger train out of Thayer, MO circa 1962. My grandfather worked as a carpenter for the Frisco, and dad spent time in high-school (back in the 40's) as a dispatch aid (glorified term for the guy who gets the engineer's out of the bar at 4a.m. for their train - lot's have changed since then).
These pictures were taken by an unknown-to-me photographer on the Walnut Street Bridge (in the background of the first, you can see the newly built Highway 63).
