Jefferson Railroad Station in "Two Soldiers" (Location)

The bus station – or as he calls it, the "dee-po" - where the narrator is put on a bus to Memphis is "down another street" from Courthouse Square; it's "a regular bus dee-po like a railroad dee-po," containing "a ticket counter and a feller behind it" (89). Historically, the Oxford train station was converted into a bus depot in 1937, when passenger rail service was discontinued. While Faulkner never felt bound by historical or geographical fact as he re-created Yoknapatawpha in the fictions, the location that the narrator himself provides - "down" a street from the Courthouse - and even the word 'depot' make it likely as not that Faulkner's bus station is also what used to be the railroad dee-po.
