The GM&O Historical
Society is pleased to announce its release of the original
GM&O News
on CD.
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. Making the first
draft of history of the Gulf Mobile & Ohio railroad
accessible to members is an important part of the Society's mission.

The second installment of
our release of the original issues of the GM&O News
on CD takes up where the first set left off with this single CD
containing all 44 issues of the official company newsletter
from the 1960’s and 1970’s.
The News became a leaner
publication in the 1960’s, reflecting the no nonsense approach
that management was taking in pursuing ambitious new business
opportunities. The focus was clearly on getting the word out
that the GM&O was moving forward and that it was a force to be
reckoned with.
Fully illustrated, the GM&O News provides
excellent background and reference information used by our own
GM&OHS authors. This CD contains everything from 1960 up
until the merger in 1972, and continues to chronicle the
progress of the railroad like nothing else can. Expand
your library of the GM&O News
with this single disc for
$15.00, (domestic) postage paid. |
