From the ornate to the humble, railroad depots have served as centers of community activity and a link to the outside world. The depots' functions and architectural styles made them distinctive across the Kansas landscape. Their history in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is the focus of Kansas Depots.
With the aid of over 120
illustrations, including architectural drawings and a railroad map of Kansas, author H. Roger Grant reminds us of the time when people and freight were dependent on rail transportation, when the depot was the bustling hub of a community, and when whistle-stops, troop trains, and rail excursions brought the whole town out to look and wonder. Kansas Depots is a study that will benefit the scholar, the buff, or just the curious traveler.
