Would anyone happen to be able to point me to a photo of this depot, circa 1960?

My great uncle's remains were transported on the Frisco from my hometown of Flint, MI to Cape Girardeau for interment.

Thanks for any leads!

You might contact the newspaper in Cape Girardeau to see if they have an archived photo.

Thank you!

I registered, since I am on numerous railroad lists and forums.

It would seem that the depot changed very little, judging from the photos from 1922 and 1944. I would imagine that it was pretty much the same when it was demolished.

I did send an e-mail to a person at the newspaper who I thought might have some information, but never received a reply. Perhaps a phone call would yield better results.

That seems to be circa 1922. Good photo, though.

I searched through another Frisco website with depot photos, but the photo there was of a more modern structure, taken in 2002 when I doubt that the original depot was still standing. It looked more like a freight house or a MOW building.
