    From Richard Crabtree on Frisco Rails Across Missouri:
    Here we are on the Frisco Highline at the Frisco Depot in Wishart, Missouri. Wishart was named after Dr. Wishart, a railroad official. The town had a post office from 1884-1957. This is now part of the Frisco Highline Trail

    Wish that I could find documentation with regard to the depot in the photo. It is not the building in the blue print (sic). The original diagram has a note that the building was retired, but it lists no date.

    During 1908, Wishart was the center of a law suit against Frisco. During the years after the merger, the Frisco was keen to rationalize service, and it announced the closure of the depot at Wishart. Polk Country announced that it would sue the Frisco. The Frisco realized the error of its way and it reinstated the agent at Wishart

    Same here. If nothing else, the depot is like nothing I've ever seen before. It's distinctive and looks like it would be fun to model.
