GA Jct.
| GA Junction is where the Frisco left its mainline to travel to Ft. Smith Union Station. The connecting track was used by Frisco passenger trains until they switched back to their own station at the foot of Garrison Ave. The KCS used this connecting track to reach industrial trackage off the Frisco on the north side. |
