Nostalgia & History > Depot Friday: The local's in town

In the distance Santa Fe local train 1220 Z-1 is bearing down on the Osage City depot. This train is running between Emporia and Topeka, KS on the traditional passenger main.

Thanks for looking back!

Nice shot Lance I spent lots of hours in that depot before they closed it I would talk with the depot agent and there was a 6 man section
and a signal maintainer based out of Osage City. The depot agent would spend some time of is week at the next station north at Burlingame KS.
I also spent lots of hours riding with the local crew one day they asked me if I wanted to ride to Topeka and back I said sure then they asked
me if I needed to go tell my mom I said no lets go boy did I get in trouble for that one I think at the time I might have been 15.
