Springfield, Mo Freight Station

:) There is really nothing left of the old freight station except the foundation with the Joradan Vally Creek runing through it. The 1910 & 1933 Sanborn Map shows exactly where the freight station set off of N. Main.

The before and after photos tell the rest of the story.
