Gulf, Mobile & Ohio EMD GP38AC Pack

Description
Gulf, Mobile & Ohio History

The Gulf, Mobile & Ohio (or "Gee-Mo" as it was sometimes known, a run-on nickname derived from GM&O) was comprised of three predecessors; the Gulf, Mobile & Northern; Mobile & Ohio; and Alton Railroad.

They were stitched together over a period of several decades and wound up providing Illinois Central with a great deal of competition in the busy Chicago - New Orleans market.

In its final form the GM&O maintained right around 3,000 route miles, much smaller than IC's nearly 5,000 miles.

It did not carry many branches, operating largely an end-to-end system connecting Chicago, Kansas City, and Mobile with extensions to New Orleans, Memphis, and Montgomery. Its GM&N and M&O predecessors offered a unique network with two main lines running between Mobile and Jackson, Tennessee.

The history of the GM&N dates back to the New Orleans, Mobile & Chicago's reorganization, a railroad which connected Mobile, Alabama with Middleton, Tennessee.

The M&O, on the other hand, was constructed in the the mid-19th century to connect the Gulf Coast with points north, eventually reaching St. Louis via Cairo, Illinois.

Here we have the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio EMD GP38AC locomotives.

Shaking! Non-American train enthusiasts.Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen a creator outside of America who puts so much love into the numbers for each train.I often see classifications like "XX type" or something like that.I can hear the voice of an American who loves trains saying, "Of course I memorized it.These days I'm starting to think that this is actually an incredible amount of work. Thank you.
