From Richard Crabtree on the Frisco Rails Across Missouri group. Here is the Frisco depot at Sarcoxie, Missouri. Now this Depot was one of the busiest in Southwest Missouri for several things; strawberries, peonies and lime. At One time Sarcoxie, MO was the number 2 producer of strawberries in the U.S. The town is still there and the abandon tracks, but the depot is long gone.
