CHESSIE SYSTEM SOUTH SHORE PASSENGER CAR TRAIN - CLEVELAND, OHIO - FEBRUARY 9, 1983
For a while, Chessie System's C&O subsidiary owned the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend. During this time, an effort was made to provide Chicago-Cleveland passenger service, but the trains had to be diesel hauled east of Michigan City, as seen here with this westbound departing Cleveland, with a GP40-2 hauling the electric MU cars..........
Easter this year also happens to fall on April Fool's Day....SO DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS CAPTION. What was really going on is a special delivery movement of new Chicago, South Shore, & South Bend MU cars, seen departing west out of Cleveland. The first order of Nippon Sharyo cars (which are still in use) were assembled by General Electric at Cleveland, and therefore some special delivery moves took place. Happy Easter, and April Fool's Day!
