Hello Frisco Folks, Here is a photo of the Frisco depot in Walnut Grove, MO. Take care, Rich Ship it on the Frisco!
From Richard Crabtree on the Frisco Rails Across Missouri Facebook group. The KCC&S and the Frisco Highline both went through or near Walnut Grove, Missouri. In early days the site of Walnut Grove was widely known as "Possum Trot" and was first incorporated as Walnut Grove in 1866. The Frisco Highline on the east side of town came through in 1884. The Kansas City, Clinton and Springfield (KCCS) Railroad, aka the Leaky Roof, opened a depot in 1885 closer to town. I found a a great aerial photograph showing The KCCS and Highline in August of 1938. Photo 1) Frisco/KCCS depot in Walnut Grove, MO around 1900.
