This is NOT the original depot, but according to the Frisco Heritage Center's web site, "The Heritage Center's Depot is all new construction based on the historic blueprints of the city's original train depot." So I can only assume this is at least sort of what it looked like. It is now used as an event center, and is just a block or so down the street from the former Frisco main line (now BNSF, of course). I am not sure exactly where this lies in relation to the depot's original location on the main line, but I am sure it is not far away. The new "Museum of the American Railroad" is only a few blocks south of this location. Date: 02/24/17 18:44 Re: Frisco Friday at Frisco Author: ns2557 arwye Wrote:

Richard Yaremko Rich, Great shot. But check that 2nd unit. Looks more like a U25B than a U30B. Ben |
