South Shore express trailer 504 Shops
South Shore express trailer 504 in the yard at the Michigan City Shops. One of three former Indiana Railroad interurban RPO cars purchased by the South Shore in 1941, one being converted into line car 1100, and the other two to package express trailers. 504 is still around today at the Illinois Railway Museum (along with line car 1100).
Al Chione dupe slide in my collection. No date, presumably 1950s. The 503-504 were subsequently rebuilt again by South Shore, adding additional side doors as well as train doors.
