Read All About It

 

The GM&O Historical Society is pleased to announce its release of the original GM&O News on CD.

Making the first draft of history of the Gulf Mobile & Ohio railroad accessible to members is taking a giant step forward with the release of this two-disc set of CDs containing all 100 issues of the official company newsletter from the 1950’s.

Follow along as the expansion of online industries intensifies, facilities get upgraded, building projects are completed, and freight car acquisitions begin to really roll.   Read about the company men, women and families being recognized for accomplishments both on and off the job, and get an overview of the important transportation issues of the day as they pertained to the GM&O and its dynamic subsidiary, Gulf Transport Co.  Milestones in service, retirements, and the passing of members of the GM&O family are part of each issue.

Richly illustrated, the GM&O News was a cherished part of being a GM&O employee, and to this day provides excellent background and reference information used by our own GM&OHS authors.  This two CD set contains over 900 pages of invaluable historic documentation that illustrates the progress of the railroad like nothing else can.   

Start your library of the GM&O News with this two disc set for $25.00 postage paid*.

*International members contact the Secretary prior to ordering for necessary shipping amount.

         

 

 

 

GM&OHS News Back Issues

Over the past 37 years the GM&OHS has published over 2600 pages of our flagship publication, the GM&OHS News.  This high-quality photo journal features in-depth articles on just about every facet of the GM&O and its predecessors.  Each issue is packed with exhaustively researched articles and photographs of GM&O people, railroad operations and equipment, drawings, maps and timetable reproductions.  Back Issues are a superior resource for model railroaders and historians alike.

Our top-rated photo magazine is printed on glossy stock in an 11x8.5" horizontal format designed to compliment large photo reproduction.  The GM&OHS News is provided as a benefit of membership.

Back-issues are available in EXTREMELY limited quantities, so don't delay if a particular issue is something you need for your library.

In addition to back issues of the News, we have supplies of our beautiful Full-Color Calendars for the years 2003, 2004, and 2005 available.  The full page images in each make attractive framed prints, at a bargain price.
