Nostalgia & History > GM&O Jack Line LocalDate: 11/24/12 22:00 GM&O Jack Line Local Author: Q4960 I carried a Yashica 2 1/4 X 2 1/4 around with me when I was in college loaded with black and white film for the most part. Here is the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio's Jack Line Local that ran from Roodhouse to Bloomington, Illinois. Here's the train with a pair of Alco RS's on the business end as orders are handed up to the crew as they depart Bloomington, Illinois some 40 some years ago.

Thanks for the share. Karl PS: also thanks for posting the Kodachrome shot, looks like the color stayed faithful in that old image (good to know it lasts). Edited 1 time(s).

I never had the opportunity to photo much on that line as it was operated only about once a week when I was growing up and when I got a car it was being abandoned. Thanks for sharing this one.
