Since we're talking Frisco the link below shows numerous Frisco photos all through Eastern and Southern Missouri.
The ones at Lindenwood Yard, especially looking down at the diesel house bring back a lot of memories. These are taken from Fyler bridge which was an old rickety bridge torn down sometime in the late 60's I believe (family moved from St. Louis to the KC area in 1961). You can see the bridge in some of the ground level photos. Man would it shake when the buses rolled over it.
In the late 50's I would spend many hours watching train movements below it and peering down into the engine house especially at dusk when the lights were on. At 10-11 years old I wasn't allowed out much past dusk or had to be in my own immediate neighborhood. What great sights, sounds and smells.

I almost changed modeling roads from the UP to Frisco after discovering this website but alas the UP in the 40's and 50's is my 1st love.
Enjoy.
