79 year old son of a frisco railroad father who lived in springfield, mo and worked on gas-electric motorcars and baldwin diesels. remember the harvey house on the southside, roundhouse shops where dad worked. left many a night for school at rolla from the springfield station. mom was a harvey girl in trinadad co as a young girl. took trip to california in 40ties, remember having stateroom accomodations and running the length of the train and standing on the observation platform with brother with no adult supervision. kids today would not get away with this. don't know if this is what is wanted, if not, let me know. am wanting to search for frisco pictures, history etc that relates to family. gene
