Atlantic, Mississippi & Ohio Railroad Company stock certificate. No. 451 for 1 share issued to the Estate of W.H. Carter on February 15, 1872. Signed by Confederate General William Mahone, president of the company. Rare imprinted RN-U1 revenue stamp. The Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio Railroad was formed in 1870 in Virginia from three east west railroads which traversed across the southern portion of the state. Organized and led by former Confederate general William Mahone, the 428-mile line linked Norfolk with Bristol, Virginia by way of Suffolk, Petersburg, Lynchburg, and Salem. The AM&O was promoted as a trade link to the west, and further expansion was envisioned with the goal of increasing Virginia's Ohio Valley and Mississippi Valley commerce. It was heavily backed by investors from England and Scotland. During the Panic of 1873 it went into receivership. In 1881 the line was sold and renamed the Norfolk & Western. Train vignette on front and boats in harbor on back with train crossing a bridge. Imprinted revenue stamp RNU1. Good condition, not cancelled.
