It appears the sign has clear neon "Ship IT on the Frisco" to illuminate at night, alternating between the large illuminated "FRISCO". I do not recall seeing anything like that in KC... but perhaps there was one there I didn't know about?
Alas, I don't get out much in regards to swap meets/etc. I tend to crash on the weekends and either stay home and tinker with projects, or the wife and I head off on a scooter adventure (weather dependant), either on our dirt bikes or our road bike. Then there's typically church on Sunday's followed by bi-weekly trips to NW AR to take the wife to spend time with her aging parents. Kind of pinched for "excursion" time at this point in our lives.
Actually, my fictional "history" has the KC&G trying to race the KCP&G to the Gulf. My KC&G lost. Thus, they had to settle for a more laborious traversing of the Ozark and Ouachita mountains in Arkansas. To this day, the KC&G folk refer to the KCS as "that OTHER KC line".

Oh my lands! What a FABULOUS find that site is! I just spent one hour of my life viewing pics there of some of my roads of interest... and had to leave before I got them all viewed! (Getting to be bedtime. 5:30 AM comes around awful early.
) Not only are there killer Frisco pics... but those Mop pics: WOW!!! Got me all fired up to eventually get some Mop power up and going!Thanks a bunch for that link!
As for almost giving in to the Frisco: "Go ahead Luke (gasp)... let go... feel the power of the Dark Side... (gasp) Black and Yellow is your destiny...."
