GM&O REBEL |
| Description: |
The Gulf Mobile & Ohio's LITTLE REBEL was photographed just outside of the Southern Railway's TERMINAL STATION, on Basin Street in New Orleans; but we can't tell if this was train No. 1 pulling into the station, or if it was backing out to be serviced at the GM&O's Canal Yard. The building in the background is the Municipal Auditorium.Power car 352, along with the 353 and their trains, was built at American Car & Foundry's plant at Berwick, PA for the Gulf Mobile & Northern in 1935 for service between New Orleans and Jackson, TN. After the GM&N merged with the Mobile & Ohio to become the GM&O these trains were extended north to East St. Louis between 1942 and 1950. They were discontinued between New Orleans and Slidell on 8 March 1954, less than two weeks before New Orleans Union passenger terminal was placed into full operation. (approximate day of photo) |

GM&O REBEL |
| Description: |
Here is a much-used publicity photo of the Gulf Mobile & Ohio REBEL on the median of North Rampart Street, just outside of the Southern Railway’s TERMINAL STATION in New Orleans. The photo is undated, but we know it was taken between 1940, when the GM&O was formed, and 1947, when the railroad adopted the Alton Railroad’s red-and-maroon paint scheme, because the train was still wearing its original red-and-silver colors. The REBEL was discontinued between New Orleans and Slidell on 8 March 1954, and TERMINAL STATION was closed on 16 April, when New Orleans Union passenger terminal was placed into full operation. (approximate date of photo) |
