St. Francois County RR
This line was completed between DeLassus and Flat River via Farmington in 1904. It was operated for many years by the Mississippi River and Bonne Terre, a Missouri-Illinois subsidiary. Connection was made with the MR&BT at Esther and with the M-I at DeLassus. It was sold to local businessmen in 1926 after the MR&BT abandoned its line south of Elvins. Another connection was made with the M-I at Hurryville. Since the line from Flat River to Hurryville was paralleled by the M-I, that segment was abandoned in 1927. Passenger service ended in 1927 and freight service was operated using the two passenger cars. The road was dieselized in later years and was totally abandoned in 1957 when the last remaining business, hauling coal to a hospital, was lost when gas was substituted.
