Nostalgia & History > MO Depot Friday: Crocker+; Springfield Now & ThenDate: 12/02/16 08:04 MO Depot Friday: Crocker+; Springfield Now & Then Author: terrybaker A couple more depots from what will likely be the last trip to Missouri for awhile; the daughter's family moved to San Antonio TX. All photographed 10/25/16:
1) Crocker SLSF depot moved off-site and now a museum. 2) "Norma Lea's Frisco Park" next to the active (no trains) BNSF main with "Frisco" caboose 11648 on display; anyone know if this is the real deal or a stand-in? 3) Trackside view of 11648. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 12/02/16 08:13 by terrybaker.

Larry Date: 12/02/16 16:09 Re: MO Depot Friday: Crocker+; Springfield Then & Now Author: MILW16 Looks like a Frisco homebult real deal caboose, but I will leave confirmation to a SLSF expert.
Date: 12/03/16 14:05 Re: MO Depot Friday: Crocker+; Springfield Then & Now Author: warren49 My maternal grandpa was a switcher engineer for the Missouri Pacific in Springfield for many years in the 40s - 60s. My uncle was a fireman/engineer for the Missouri Pacific in the late 50s and through the 60s....he worked out of Springfield much of the time. Springfield was a "Frisco town", so being a MoPac railroad employee was sort of unusual around there in those days.
