West side view |
| Description: |
For a long time, Id been driving through Joplin, and seeing the station there. It is, and was, a beautiful building. Finally I decided to take a few minutes and shoot some photos. This is the view from outside the fence on the northwest side of the building. |

Platform shelter |
| Description: |
This was an interesting structure. There was a covered walkway to the main building. Presumably, riders would use this to await an imminent train with some shelter from the sun and rain. Doesnt look like too many people could stand under it, through. On the other hand, this aint exactly Penn Station. |
