Here is the Frisco Depot at Crowley, Louisiana.

This was built as part of the Frisco's Colorado Southern New Orleans and Pacific Railroad, which came to town around 1907-8, with the depot soon following.

This was part of the Frisco's Gulf Coast Line ~ Houston to New Orleans, connecting just north of Eunice, Louisiana.

The depot is still standing at 114 East 1st Street, Crowley, La 70526.

[This is trackside. So the view at the top of these notes is street side.]

I'm confused, Frisco never joined SP or MP. It joined BN in 1980.
