In this section visitors will find a reprinted article from the very first issue of the GM&OHS News titled ‘A Condensed History of the GM&O’, written by Robert F. Schramm. The overview will give readers the basic milestones concerning the evolution of the GM&O. Accompanying this article is a full color corporate Family Tree/Flow Chart for the GM&O and predecessor lines.
Here can be found various maps of the GM&O system, its constituent systems, and certain local or regional maps within those routes. These pages are purposely made with larger than usual file sizes, so that the detail of the maps may be preserved. Page loading times, and downloading/saving times will be longer, reflecting this feature. Retired Employees and Genealogical Information The GM&O Historical society does not have archives or access to personal information regarding former employees of any railroads. We suggest that persons seeking such information contact the Railroad Retirement Board. Their website is at: http://www.rrb.gov/default.asp .

A short bibliography is included for those that wish to pursue more complete roster information on locomotives. Stations and Locations <This area under construction> The various sections of the northern and southern divisions of the GM&O are presented here with station and milepost information.... |

Additionally, we are extremely fortunate to be able to
direct visitors to an online edition of James H.
Lemly’s definitive work on the history of the GM&O titled
‘The Gulf, Mobile And Ohio: A Railroad That Had to
Expand or Expire’. First printed in 1953, and just six years
after the final configuration of the railroad was achieved, the book is a must
read for any GM&O enthusiast. Go to:
