1927 Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot (MoPac) Lines in Brownsville, Texas architectural renderings by David Curry

David Currey of Houston, Texas has been designing a model of the 1927 Missouri Pacific Railroad depot that once stood on 12th and E Levee St next to El Jardin Hotel.  He is collaborating with William Basden who is building a model.  Let's hope they complete their work in time for the Missouri Pacific Historical Society's conference in 2016.
