Old Kansas Depots... Photo Gallery by nmsandrail at pbase.com

Old Kansas Depots...

Photos of various Kansas railroad depots...in use and sold off... It will take a while to gather up all my photographs of these depots and research which towns that it was associated with...but here is a start..

These are mostly depot photos as I travel about Kansas.. Have taken over 30,000 railroad slides since 1968, but am so busy with Boy Scouting these days, I have no time to sort through all them for the ones, I have missed on this page.. Maybe in an another year or so... There is approx 300 present and remaining depots left in Kansas..

Click on "original" under photo to get full size version of 1152x768.. My email address is dak507@plateautel.net for any questions..

You have quite a nice collection of depot photos! I run a website named DepotMaps.com which attempts to plot the locations of all surviving depots in the Continental U.S. If you would be so inclined, I'd like to use some of your Kansas photos to fill in voids on my website. I would be able to retrieve them from your website without any effort on your part.

Excellent gallery and great photos! I enjoyed them and have added them to my collection. I have a personal challenge of visiting and photographing every remaining depot in Kansas. It may never be completed but I have over 200 so far. I found a complete list on the internet which helps, but some that have been moved to remote locations are very hard to find without good directions. I think it's important to document these pieces of history because with time many will be lost forever.

I enjoyed your collection. I have traveled to almost every county in KS looking for depots to photograph -- several years ago -- and have a few in addition to yours. Good to see these all on the internet. I've also photographed a few surviving freight houses and other lineside structure. Your collection -- good job.

Great pictures! The Augusta photo in the extreme lower right corner is the Frisco depot, the exact photo that's way above it.

Great documentary series. In the typical american photographic style.
