Chartered in 1848, it was planned to extend northward to Cairo, Illinois, but finances precluded this additional expansion. In 1940 the M&O merged with the Gulf, Mobile & Northern Railroad to form the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad, which stretched north to St. Louis and Chicago. The GM&O merged with the Illinois Central Railroad in 1972 to form the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad (ICG). The ICG later dropped the "Gulf" from its name and returned to the name Illinois Central. The IC was purchased by the Canadian National Railway in 1998 (CN). Surviving M&O trackage is now owned and operated by the CN. For auction is an employee pass from the M&O for the year 1912.
