  • MSC Newsletter 4-2017
    The Mid-South Flyer Spring 2017 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc Spring Meeting Boyhood memories of a special steam engine Back in the day, most young boys developed a fascination for trains from playing with their first toy train set, or in more recent times, from watching Thomas the Tank Engine on TV. But in the case of MidSouth member Warren Jones, a childhood infatuation for a certain steam engine ignited a life-long love for trains, and steam engines in particular. That special steam engine was Gainesville Midland #301, a 2-8-0 Consolidation-type locomotive built in 1920 by Baldwin Locomotive Works. No. 301 was a familiar sight Gainesville Midland #301 around Warren’s childhood home in Gainesville, Georgia, where the railroad literally ran through his back yard. Warren recounts growing up in a railroad family and his love affair with the Gainesville Midland in an article ap- pearing in Good Old Days Magazine. He will reprise his story with personal anecdotes and photographs at the next meeting of the MidSouth Chapter on Saturday, April 22, at 2 PM in the historic Leeds Depot. The following article excerpts provide a preview of Warren’s presentation. “The year was 1952 in Gainesville, Georgia. I was ten years old, and the location was a small Southern Railroad section house with the Gainesville Midland Railroad New Holland branch forming the boundary of the back yard, a short stone’s throw from the house. The house faced the Southern double track mainline, a long stone’s throw away.

  • America's Gulf Coast
    America’sAmerica’s GulfGulf CoastCoast A Long Term Recovery Plan after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill www.RestoreTheGulf.gov September 2010 Photos by U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy "We need to understand that the environment and our lifestyle and our communities and the businesses that flourish down here must work together." (Town Hall Participant, Houma, Louisiana) The Deepwater Horizon oil spill was one of the worst man-made environmental disasters our country has ever experienced. The oil spill has dramatically affected the lives, jobs, and futures of millions of Gulf Coast residents. The Gulf of Mexico is a natural resource of vital importance which provides immeasurable benefits and services to citizens throughout the United States. The Gulf is also critical to nationwide commerce. Over time, the countless demands made on the region have critically impacted the entire Gulf environment. The most recent, and most damaging, of the impacts to the Gulf is Deepwater Horizon. Today, the well is dead, oil no longer flows into the Gulf, and the attention of the media and the public is beginning to shift elsewhere. But as the President said on June 15, 2010, we will not forget what occurred, and we will not forget the promise made to the people of the Gulf Coast to help them restore their ecosystems and economy to health. The effects of the oil spill may reverberate in the region and across the country for years to come. What happens in the Gulf of Mexico affects America. Nearly one third of the seafood harvested in the continental United States, as well as 30 percent of oil production and 13 percent of our natural gas production, come from the Gulf.
