The Gulf, Mobile and Northern Railroad {{Reporting mark|GMN}} was a railroad in the Southern United States. The first World War had forced government operation upon the company; and in 1919, when it became once more a free agent, it chose Isaac B. Tigrett to chart its new course.Railroad Magazine, January 1945, Vol.37, No 2 Tigrett, a native of Jackson, Tennessee, was president of the GM&N from 1920 and of its successor, the GM&O, from 1938 to 1952, and oversaw the development of the road from a nearly bankrupt operation into a thriving success. He was the great-uncle of Hard Rock Cafe founder Isaac Tigrett, also a native of Jackson.[https://books.google.com/books?id=-418fSrmYu8C&dq=%22Isaac+B.+Tigrett%22&pg=PA51 Lesley Barker, St. Louis Gateway Rail: The 1970s, Arcadia Publishing, 2006, p. 51]

At the end of 1925 GM&N operated 466 miles of road and 574 miles of track; that year it reported 419 million ton-miles of revenue freight and 12 million passenger-miles.

On September 13, 1940, the GM&N was merged with the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to form the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad.{{cite web | url=http://www.gmohs.org/TertiaryPages/FamilyTreeFlowChart.htm | title=Corporate Family Tree/Flow Chart | publisher=The GM&O Historical Society, Inc. | access-date=2006-04-21 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070314095223/http://www.gmohs.org/TertiaryPages/FamilyTreeFlowChart.htm | archive-date=2007-03-14 }}
