When I last saw it 10 years ago, it had been converted into a restaurant.
It had been repainted some garish Victorian colors, but the structure
itself was intact. As MP depots go, it's a one-of-a-kind. It was
built around 1900 by the St. Joe Lead Co. for its Mississippi River
& Bonne Terre Railroad, later taken over by Mike & Ike.
Curved glass windows in the turret. The ground floor was for the
local agent. Second floor was the dispatcher's office for the M-I.

- Charleston
- unique depot, but in poor condition and not likely to be restored
- Dexter - depot (brick?) in excellent condition
-
Fredericktown
- restored depot (the project is still looking for a caboose to add beside the building).
Our non profit organization, The Foundation for Historic Preservation, was formed in 1998 to save an
1837 home, but we soon got involved with the restoration of the second railroad depot in Fredericktown.
A. Paul Vance, owner of the depot, spent a great deal to restore the depot's interior and exterior to its original splendor.
We then worked with two students from Southeast Missouri State University who prepared the nomination
of the 1918 depot for the National Register.
On February 10, 2000 the Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot, located on the Corner of Collier and Murta Streets,
was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In December 2003, an oval commemorative brass
plaque was dedicated, noting this national status.
The interior of the depot remains nearly the same as it was when originally built, but it now houses the
Vance Aviation and Transportation Museum. Large models of some of the earliest airplanes hang from
the ceiling. Space has been reserved for the addition of a Wright Brothers replica and Lindbergh's, Spirit
of St. Louis.
The depot is also the home of the Missouri Aviation Hall of Fame.
Visitors will be able to see the complete history of aviation through the present space missions.
Railroading history has its own distinct area in the depot. Lead mining was the leading industry in the
Madison County area from the early 1700s to 1900. The railroads played a key role in moving the ore
and was key in the development of this area. The last trains stopped in Fredericktown in the 1970s.
Visitors will also be able to see a display on the "Trail of Tears" wagon train in 1988. This commemorated
the forced removal of over 13,000 Cherokee Indians by foot and wagon from North Carolina to Telequah,
Oklahoma. Paul Vance provided the official Missouri wagon, pulled by his mules, Kate and Allie. These
mules walked every step of the 1,084 miles.
Fredericktown is fortunate to have not one, but two railroad depots. The first railroad depot was built in
the late 1850s on Allen Street in Fredericktown, one block to the north, and it still stands although
somewhat worse for wear. Another Southeast Missouri State University student, with the assistance of The
Foundation for Historic Preservation, is preparing the nomination of this first depot for consideration by the
National Register of Historic Sites. It is hoped to have this nomination completed by late summer of 2004.
Visitors to the area may contact Paul Vance at 573-783-5885 to make an appointment to visit the depot and museum.

used for storage.
Also, according to one source, the old roundhouse is still standing,
but I have doubts this info is up-to-date.

Marshall - T&P Depot, Marshall Depot (Museum). In addition
to the depot, T&P #400, a 2-8-2 streamer, was in the city park,
although not in public view. When the boiler started shedding asbestos
lagging, the city fathers responded by building a metal shed around
it. The locomotive is actually a Fort Worth & Denver model that
the T&P bought second-hand. It's reputed to be the last steam
locomotive to operate on the MP, during floods along the Red River
in the late 1950s. (B. Edmonson) Note:
this is a sighting made 10-years ago and may be currently out-dated.

features were retained, including stained glass windows and weathervane
figure on top of the cupola.I hope these help. (B. Edmonson)
