Due to recent events at Bridge 631 in Whiting, IN with boat vs drawbridge, CSX is now using their B and C Yard on the north side of their Pegasus Yard in East Chicago, IN for all traffic for the BP Refinery. Once again shutting out the South Shore from interchange, only a matter of time until CSX rejects them until further notice, making all traffic go via the Belt.
With that being said, it’s a beautiful sunny Easter Sunday and we have the AF-11 with their 48 car train for the CSX, only this time they’re running west of Miller for interchange with the Belt Railway of Chicago via Commercial Avenue Yard. Making the mad dash through Gary, IN is a four pack of CSS Traction Orange GP38-2s (2004/2001/2000/2007) as they thunder up the hill in run 8 over the former EJ&E Main of the CN Matteson Sub, keeping the cliché of the “Flat & Forgiving South Shore.” This was a rare opportunity to see freight going the correct way of light on the west end, as it’s not as easy as it once was in recent years with new OD times.
You absolutely have to love the domino effect of railroading in Northwest Indiana, also with the help of a “Nice Guy” running the CSS show yesterday, if it also wasn’t for a negligent boat captain, this would’ve never happened! Taken: 4-5-26
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.

I’m going to take a day off from posting my NS 911 shots. So here is the pair of ex Iowa Interstate SD38’s that now belong to the CSS are seen here leading the Belt Job back to Burnham Yard. They are seen here just South of Chicago as they pass the Kensington Tower. This was my first bagging the CSS SD38’s and first time shooting the tower.
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.
Had to grab this on the fly during my lunch break. Been a long time coming, lived up to my expectations. The rollercoaster railroad. My camera was in my backpack, at work, of course. More to come. Pullman to Burns Harbor.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.
After a long outage, track relocation and other work has taken the once heavily shot curve in the streets and turned it into something completely new and out of the street. Here the very first train to roll down the new alignment drops down over the hump with a monster train of over 130 cars for the Belt. The track panels in the foreground are from the former alignment and will be moved off site. While it absolutely sucks to see the trackage ripped up the new angles it may offer could be just as unique but who knows.

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.
