Frisco in Denison, TX

[John Markl]

While it was a given that Denison "belonged" to the Katy, what freight activity took place there? Anything beyond the freight house on East Main St? Seems I read someplace that the SP and the Frisco had a freight train that they handed over to each other in Denison at one time?

I haven´d had a chance to really get down and read the new Signature Press book on the SP´s T&NO but there is probably mention of an SP-Frisco run through freight if it was ever operated, be it a test run to see if it would be feasable or if it made the ETT as a scheduled run.

The T&NO did lease four Frisco 4-8-2s in the late 40s. A pix is included in the book.
