Named Trains: #22 – Gulf Coast Rebel

#22 – Gulf Coast Rebel

Railroad(s): Gulf, Mobile & Ohio

Operated: 1940 – 1958

Route(s): St. Louis – Mobile

Continuing our track of named trains through the South, the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio's signature streamliner evokes the history of the region without becoming overtly antagonistic to Civil War-era contraversies. Although the railroad operated other routes branded with the Rebel marker, the Gulf Coast version traveled its main route through nearly the railroad's entire territory. Although the train didn't survive the end of the streamliner era, the Gulf Coast Rebel nonetheless deserves a spot on this list for its strong regional identity and flagship status on the GM&O.
