Episode 2: Preserving the Perry Depot

After learning in 2017 the Rock Island depot in Perry, Arkansas was slated to be torn down, a campaign was launched to move it to an adjacent lot — still alongside the track — and begin work to preserve it. The structure, built in 1918, was important logistically for the railroad as part of the line that ran from Memphis, Tennessee to Tucumcari, New Mexico. This episode features interviews with Buford Suffridge, who has been leading the project, and Danny Majors, the son of longtime Depot Agent Joe Mayors.
