    I have a large collection of MOPAC remittance slips from Yancopin, AR. It appears to me they came from a general store that was close but not right on a former MOPAC rail line. This surprised me as I assumed that passenger tickets were only available directly from a MOPAC agent in a station. Is it possible that this general store was sort of an “agent” for the railroad? It appears to me they were selling passenger tickets and then remitting money to St. Louis.

    Thanks
