GM&O Steam Live... For Now - On a calm night on the Gulf, Mobile, & Ohio, GM&O 4382 slowly departs the station, while GM&O 1051 sits on the side with 2 shop workers, and a man by the name of George Googe Jr. According to historian Travis Gordon, soon after posing with the brand new RS1, George would give the shop workers a stern talking to, as this is the man who lead the charge from steam to diesel on the GM&O and was upset that his brand new machine had to be saved by a worn out mikado. In reality, this is Southern 4501 and Hartford & Slocomb 913, both dressed as GM&O locomotives to honor the 75th anniversary of the GM&O's dieselization. The man on the far right is the grandson of George Googe Jr, Charles Googe. He put in lots of effort in making this event possible, and so did all the TVRM employees involved.
