In 1972 the Gulf Mobile and Ohio Railroad became a fallen flag after merging with Illinois Central. In Warrensburg, Missouri, however the calendar is frozen in the 1960's! Maroon and red covered wagons, black and white hood units, and red and white Geeps, ply their way from Chicago to St. Louis on the territory known as "The Alton Route." Prototype operation is the backbone of the railroad and we welcome guest operators or gandy-dancers at any time!
