These images are from the main collection of slides held by Frisco.org.

The effort to grow this collection is constant. As of Spring 2014, over $5,000 has been spent to acquire these slides, solely for displaying them on the Frisco Archive for historical reference.

Help is constantly needed to grow this collection. We seek donations of material as well as funds to help us purchase slides and documents. If you would like to help, please contact us. Every donation helps greatly.

U25B 824 at Birmingham, Alabama (date unknown).

This photo was taken at the Frisco’s East Thomas Yard. The locomotives are sitting in the Mechanical Department service tracks area south of the roundhouse.

After converting from steam to diesel power, the number of roundhouse stalls was reduced and the shop renovated to service the new locomotives. The locomotive turntable sits behind the engines to the west (left in this view) in front of the shop.

The view is looking north/northeast.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.

SD45s 905 and 900, and GP35 721 at St. Louis, Missouri (date unknown) (Al Chione).

The train is westbound on the Rolla Subdivision just departing the west end of Lindenwood Yard. Just across the bridge is Southeastern Junction. At this point the St. Louis Subdivision connects and turns south toward Memphis.

On the left, under the head end of the train, is the River Des Peres. This is just south of the confluence with Deer Creek. To the right, under the GP35, is Wellington Avenue/Wabash Avenue.

The photo was taken from Interstate 44 and the view is looking northeast.

Special thanks to Mark Davidson.
