CSS 2005 @ Hammond, IN

A seemingly rare daylight South Shore Freight runs on a beautiful code blue sky Sunday, as Engineer Nice Guy Mike takes a trio of CSS GP38-2s (2005/2001/2004) on train PF9 enroute to Belt Railway of Chicago’s Commercial Avenue Yard. Seen here heading west through the S Curve in Hammond, IN while approaching the Illinois State Line. Taken: 11-12-23

 

This whole area of downtown Hammond will look drastically different in the coming months as next to me is the track realignment for the main and the connection for their new passenger service to Dyer, IN. This S curve is one of my favorite hidden shots on the line, time will tell what the track alignment will look like when the track project is all said and done.
