South Shore's pair of ex-Iowa Interstate SD38-2's approach the Dearborn Ave crossing in Hammond, IN with the Belt Job, AF-4.

CSS GP38-2's 2003 and 2000 lead the way of PF-9 as it approaches the Hegeswich station in Burnham, IL.
A 3-pack of GP38-2s are on the pulll out of Burnham yard with a NORX coal train bound for Michigan City. You can't see the third one in this picture since it's hidden by the curve that leads into Hammond. It's March 7, 1981 and Winter is packing its bags to leave Da Region, but Spring looks to be not too close just yet. The blue and yellow livery that the South Shore GP's wear reflect on its owner at the time, minus the neat Cat herald. Too bad, they couldn't have slapped the South Shore shield on the nose, at least.

Working with a three man crew, the AF4 heads back north after working multiple industries including Kingsbury, Pigfeed, and interchange with the CN at Stillwell. Here the Chicago South Shore Kingsbury local is seen passing by the pond in La Porte as the sun begins to set. Big thanks to the conductor on the job for giving us a run down of the day's work.
South Shore 803 with trailing brand new Port Huron & Detroit boxcar, works near Hammond, Indiana on March 4, 1978
One of the South Shore's legendary 800's heads for home as it climbs the hill approaching the East Chicago Cut-off, which was constructed during the building of the Indiana Toll Road. It's May 21, 1980, and the three massive GE electrics, the 801, 802, and 803, don't have much time left gracing the rails of the South Shore. The spring switch in the foreground led down to the B&O's East Chicago yard, which the 800's used to use daily delivering and pulling transfers.
Cooler than any tea kettle, streamliner or heritage unit this everyday South Shore Freight train heads east down 11th street in Michigan City, Indiana

CSS 2009 runs through the controlled siding under the x-Michigan Central coal tower in Michigan City. A large number of cars for USALCO and Shell necessitated the move.
The theme of my weekend was MOODLE and INTRO to CSS. Saturday am woke up at 4am burning with the desire to record my top ten tips for new edna Groups users. Shared it in the edna Group Owners forum and will work up a blog post soon.
Saturday night watched a great series of how to videos from the Moodleman himself Julian Ridden on how to create a Moodle template.
Tonight, I dug in and gave it a go. This is NOT the finished product, it's where I had to stop for tonight. I had a fantastic time learning and love, love, love Firebug, Dreamweaver, Filezilla and Gimp in concert. Also LOVE Colour Picker. (Yes I know Dreamweaver can FTP, no I haven't set it up yet cuz I was impatient.)
DOM = document object model (everything on a single web page *document* everything on that page is an object. Colour picker can spit back a palette of a web.

The buck in the foreground had something pique it's interest as the toms in the background tried to get laid. We're at the crossing of IN 35 outside of LaPorte on South Shore's Kingsbury Industrial Lead (NKP)
Seeing a South Shore 800 was always a treat for me. The CSS&SB's version of the Little Joe was massive, powerful, and sleek. It didn't make any difference if it was moving or standing still, the 800's were hard to beat.
