History of Frisco Motor Car 2121
Built by the Electro-Motive Company in St. Louis for the Frisco Railway, No. 2121 was delivered in October 1925. It was a Baggage-Coach combination that cost $65,000.00 to build. It was 58' 3" long with an all steel body and a 200 horse power Winton engine. The interior had a seating capacity of 49 and was finished in mahogany paneling and yellow pine floor. Unique to this car was the roof was constructed of a steel frame with wood decking and covered with a canvas roof. Frisco No. 2121 was put into service running the line between Afton, OK, Joplin, MO and Columbus, KS. retiring from service on January 30, 1952. I am not sure where these pictures were taken but on the back of each one is a stamp that says Graves Studios The Photographers of Pittsburg Kansas.
