I've lived in Peculiar, Missouri since 2013 and I'm very interested in the town's history, particularly the abandoned train tracks. If anyone can link me to threads regarding the area, that would be great. I'm especially interested in knowing the location where the depot was. I like to explore
Welcome to the Frisco website Holly!!! You are in the right website, there are several members that may be able to answer your questions, sadly I'm not able to help. I did a search and it directed me back to this thread. Joe
Thanks Joe. I've been looking through some historical maps and it's been a challenge. I'll keep digging!
Welcome Holly! I am sure there are people here that will help. Some really knowledgable and friendly folks on this site.
Holly, Welcome Aboard! One way to find information is the use of the Search function found at the upper right of any forum page. If you start at the main forum page by clicking on the Forums tab at the top of this page and then put Peculiar in the Search box and click the Search button, you will get a listing of all the posts or threads with peculiar (not necessarily just the town name) appearing in them. Here is the one that may be most valuable to you from that search: http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/peculiar-d-36-7.1270/ Note that Charles Brand's (Karl Brand's father) notes indicate the Main Line and the House Track (that ran behind the depot). This would help narrow down the position of the depot. Karl may be especially helpful due the volume of materials that he has on the Clinton Sub.
Welcome, Holly. I'll echo Keith's suggestion: any search results for Peculiar probably will lead to other sources, and other links and so on. Have fun,
