    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.

    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer Summer 2015 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc July Meeting Woodward Iron RR to be featured at July meeting The Woodward Iron Company Railroad was unique in being a keystone in one of the most com- plete vertically integrated industrial companies in the United States. Over four generations of the Woodward family operated a company that was synonymous with Birmingham as a producer of Woodward #35 with hot metal cars at Woodward Iron Furnace circa 1959 (Tom Lawson collection) “merchant iron” from 1881 to 1973 – the actual beginnings of the Woodward Company predate the beginning of the City of Birmingham. The Woodward Company and its leaders were a strong part of Birmingham’s business community, and its building occupied one street corner of the “heaviest corner on Earth.” Third generation A. H. “Rick” Woodward was perhaps one of the most colorful business leaders in Birmingham, including his owning the Birmingham Barons Baseball team, being the builder of Rickwood Field, and being a “millionaire” locomotive engineer. Mid-South member John Stewart has made a study of the Woodward family’s contribution to Birmingham’s indus- trial development, and John will present his research in a narrated slide program at our July 18 chapter meeting. For the benefit of those not familiar with Woodward, John has provided the following preview of his presentation: Before there was a Birmingham in 1871, the Woodward family began land ac- quisition in 1869 that would lead to a company that produced “merchant iron” in Don’t forget the Birmingham for over 90 years.

    The MidMid----SouthSouth Flyer May-June 2014 A Publication of the Mid-South Chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, Inc Chapter Picnic Moved to July Mid-South Chapter invited to participate in inaugural Alabama Railfan Conference The first ever gathering of diverse rail fan groups from across Ala- bama will feature a program on the Mid-South Chapter and a key- note presentation by Mid-South member and Birmingham railroad historian John Stewart. The Alabama Railfan Conference 2014 will be held on National Train Day, May 10th, at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum in Calera, Ala- bama. Activities will include briefings by representatives from vari- ous railroad museums, historical societies, model railroad clubs, and social media groups, and a group ride behind Flagg Coal #75 steam locomotive. According to event organizer Jimmy Summers, the main purpose of the conference is to gather together various rail related groups in order to learn what rail fan opportunities are available in the state and current projects in the Alabama rail fan community. Mid-South President John Browning will represent the chapter and provide a briefing to conference attendees. Board member John Stewart will present a program on the development of Birmingham’s industrial railroads, which has re- ceived wide acclaim from both rail enthusiasts and historians. Due to restricted venue space at the museum, the half-day conference will be limited to 35 participants. Depending on the response to this year’s program, the museum hopes to expand the conference into an annual event with more program offerings and activities. Although participation in the conference is restricted, Mid-South members are encouraged to participate in other available museum activities in honor of National Train Day.
