Spent many a' night chatting with depot agent Buddy Stedman at the Frisco's Van Buren depot. Somewhere I have a blurry pic of Buddy passing up an order to a passing Frisco freight.

Found that old pic and scanned it. Here it is:

That's interesting. I went through Van Buren years ago, but didn't have a chance to ride the Missouri and Arkansas RR scenic train (it's also a working railroad) that operates out of Van Buren. Passengers board at the depot - still there, of course. The scenic railroad uses Alcos, I believe. I remember a RS-3 when I was there, and I think there's a C-420 also.
