Ex-Missouri Pacific, T&P, freight station
Description:
I couldn't tell if this was a passenger station, or freight house, or whatever its function was, when I took this photo. The pyramid or hip roof and white doors would make this an interesting station to model. Thanks to Rob Browning for his comment.
