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.
October 9, 2020
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.
Built in 1913 in Newcastle upon Tyne. A Canadian survey ship that served in both World Wars and survived the Halifax explosion. She surveyed the waters of Canada's Arctic and the coast of Newfoundland and was also used as a patrol and training vessel. Now permanently docked in Halifax Harbour next to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
South Shore 803 with trailing brand new Port Huron & Detroit boxcar, works near Hammond, Indiana on March 4, 1978
Last summer, train AF-3 is seen returning from BRC’s Commerical Avenue Yard with leased Louisville and Indiana 2005 (GP38-2) wearing its PRR inspired paint, along with CSS 2006 (GP38-2) trailing, as they charge eastward over the Calumet River in Hegewisch (Chicago), IL for their final destination of CSS’s Burnham yard only a short few miles away. Taken: 9-26-19. This is one of the few units on the CSS roster that doesn’t have PTC, making it trail only out on Chicago side of the system. Also, thanks to the people who made this shot possible, you know who you are.

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.

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 train AF2 just came through the drawbridge on Amtrak's Michigan line. The CSS works a couple industries on this side of the river. It was another frigid day in the Midwest. I woke up to -12 degrees, drove the 2 1/4 hours to Michigan City to chase the CSS down the Kingsbury line. When I arrived, I received the disappointing news that they were not running down there today. But found out the AF2 job was waiting near Drawbridge for Amtrak to go by. Thanks to KV for the tip.

Things get exciting for a moment at 95th Street as four trains move through the area at once. South Shore's Belt Job had just come down the BRC-IC connector with traffic from South Chicago. Here they are creeping towards their own trackage at Kensington, about to be overtaken by CN's Glenn-Kirk transfer, L536. Meanwhile, eastbound intermodal and manifest trains occupy the Belt/NS corridor overhead. The CCNI container compliments the Traction Orange geeps nicely.
A set of South Shore Freight GP38-2's ease around the "city track" from Kirk Yard to head back east to CSS trackage at Curtis. This shot just off of Clark Road sure makes the area look like a complete wasteland.
