GM&O was formed from two Deep South carriers: 827-mile Gulf, Mobile & Northern and 1,180-mile Mobile & Ohio. GM&N reached from the ports of Mobile, Ala., and New Orleans, north, joining at Union, Miss. (between Jackson and Meridian), en route to the west Tennessee city of Jackson, while M&O, which paralleled GM&N 25 to 30 miles to the east, went from Mobile through Meridian, Miss., and Jackson, Tenn., to metropolitan St. Louis.
This package is released as freeware. You can do whatever you wish with it EXCEPT make money with its use.
