Gulf, Mobile & Ohio – Illustrated Historical Referenceis three books in one:* First, it’s a history book that covers the development of the postwarrailroad through the mergers of:
Gulf,Mobile & Northern, Mobile & Ohio, and The Alton Railroad.
* Second, it’s a handy reference book, with maps and equipment rosters anddescriptions of passenger and freight operations.
* Third, it’s a fine, entertaining trip over GM&O that you can sit back and savor, with pages of beautifulphotographs and detailed descriptions.This title is filled with photographs, captions and text. The work of many photographers from north to south contributed to make this title a nice book. A number of maps augment the text. A few, much older photographs in the black-and-white era are presented, but 95% of the photographs and illustrations are in color. There are quite a few depot scenes, too. This is a good 'overview' title of this former, important American railroad.Contents:
