    From Richard Crabtree on Frisco Rails Across Missouri.

    Here we are at the Frisco depot in Rush Tower, Missouri. Located along the Mississippi on the Frisco River Division. It was 46.8 miles from St Louis and 6.8 miles south of Crystal City, Missouri.

    Rush Tower had a post-office and store 16 miles east, southeast of Victoria.

    It was also a landing place for boats.
