GM&OHS NEWS Issue #128

 

GM&OHS NEWS issue #128 was mailed to members on Monday December 5th, completing our publishing schedule for 2011.  Included with this mailing is a 2012 Membership Renewal form.  Please renew promptly, as this keeps the Society's costs down.  Also included in the forthcoming packet is the Winter Switchlist

 

 

This issue of the NEWS starts with a look at a less-than-catastrophic collision in the Chicago area involving "Final No. 6 to BPY" occuring in 1961.  See exactly what went wrong when there was a Mishap at the Panhandle.

 

 

 

 

Our second feature is another well-researched look at predecessor power by author David Bridges.  The Mobile, Jackson & Kansas City bought a small fleet of locomotives new from Baldwin, which would go on to form the early core of the GM&N's power roster.  Included are some rare photographs of these locomotives in service at the beginning of the GM&N's existence.
