Morris, KS

The Morris, KS depot is probably the best preserved example of a frame depot with a "mainline style" bay window. The large bay housed an interlocking machine for controlling the trackage in the vicinity. Morris is essentially a 16x40 #1 mainline standard depot, but has a number of unusual features. Plans for this depot can be found in Frank Ellington's Santa Fe Depots of the Plains. The depot is preserved at the Agriculture Hall of Fame at the Wyandotte County Park north of Bonner Springs, KS.
