175+ Missouri Railroad Depot photos

[HiJack]

I have about 60 depots more to post to complete my site.
When I was taking the pictures 20 years ago, I had modeling in mind. I tried to shoot them in a way to help any one make models of them. My success at this varied.

You all are welcome to check it out and let me know how well I did and I hope it can be of help to any one intereste in Depots. My site is at.

That is an amazing project you are doing and a wealth of information. The pictures you took show all that`s needed to model a replica of the depots
What an asset your link is.:thumb:

Jack, first of all, your site is a marvelous piece of historical information. Many thanks for photo documents of all those stations.

Second, your providing a link to it comes at an excellent time for me. I'm just about to begin a station building project. I haven't decided whether to scratch build it or start with a kit. Since my layout is set in the Ozarks (c. 1910), I'll be taking several looks at the photos on your site. :thumb:

About replying to individual posts: it's really quite easy. At the bottom of each post, on the lower right side of your screen, there is a "button" that says "QUOTE." Click on that and you will be able to reply to a specific posting. Just as I have done with yours.

BTW: I'm familiar with Rhineland and that area. We drive over to Hermann two or three times a year (Can we say, "Stone Hill? Hermannhof?" ). That's a beautiful drive all along there from Jeff City, with the river on one side and the Katy Trail on the other. :thumb:

Hi All

The Missouri Railroad Depots web site has found a permanent home.

The old address was www.fidnet.com/~hijack. I will have a redirect page.

The new address is www.missouridepots.com
Right now, I have over 330 depots on the site. I hope to add around ten more every couple weeks.

If you haven't been there in a while, check it out. I hope it is a lot better then the last time you saw it.

I thought my original title is interesting. I now have over 330 Depots posted with many more to come.

I know this is a hard question, but, which do you think is the most interesting of the lot?

HiJack... Those are some great shots ! I really enjoyed all the depot pictures.... a lot of them were a real trip down memory lane. I just compared a recent shot of mine (of the Booneville, MO depot). It has been well preserved and maintained, complete with a neat Katy Line caboose off the north end of the building.

Thanks again for those great images....
