Paul Corbin of Advance, Mo. discusses the railroad's presence in the community in Audio Clip Part 1. He also talks about his personal experience in education and business in Audio Clip Part 2.

An abandoned section of Frisco railroad track remains in Delta, Mo. near the Highway 25 crossing.

A display in the Chaffee Historical Museum pays homage to the influence of the railroad which has played a role in the community for more than a century.

The Frisco Railroad is depicted in a mural by Chaffee artist Aaron Horrell who painted it on a building in Chaffee in 2005.
