A Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad wide vision caboose brings up the rear of the train., a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I took this photograph this past Wednsday night, at the Oak Park Society of Model Engineers,H.O Scale Model Railroad Club in Oak Park Illinois.

Growing up on the near southwest side of Chicago during the 1960's and 70's...I was a big fan of the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, the Illinois Central, and the Illinois Central Gulf after the two railroads merged in August of 1972.

I was in a G,M & O sort of mood, and decided to operate my recently acquired second hand Life Like Proto 2000 Series G,M & O Railroad EMD G P 38-2 diesel locomotive, and some period 1960's era freight cars that night.

Thanks.
