Have I mentioned before how, when CSS had a flight problem and could not make it to Lolla 2007, I sat in the dusty ground and cried? I just thought I would mention that again so people might realize what a great relief it was for me to photograph them this summer when they finally made it back to Chicago.

CSS Acadia is a former hydrographic surveying and oceanographic research ship of the Hydrographic Survey of Canada and its successor the Canadian Hydrographic Service.
Acadia served Canada for more than five decades from 1913 to 1969, charting the coastline of almost every part of Eastern Canada including pioneering surveys of Hudson Bay. She was also twice commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) as HMCS Acadia, the only ship still afloat to have served the RCN in both World Wars. Today she is a museum ship, designated as a National Historic Site of Canada, moored in Halifax Harbour at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
Retaining her original engines, boilers and little-changed accommodations, she is one of the best preserved Edwardian ocean steamships in the world and a renowned example of Canada's earliest scientific prowess in the fields of hydrography and oceanography.

Commuters alight from an eastbound South Shore train consisting of borrowed bi-level equipment from the RTA, including F40PH-2 No. 104. By this date in August 1982, delivery of new South Shore equipment was pending. With the arrival of the new cars over the next year, South Shore returned this equipment to RTA and was able to retire all of the old interurban cars by the summer of 1983.

General view of the South Shore's Randolph Street Station depicts a train from South Bend arriving while a borrowed RTA diesel-powered train looks on. C&NW locomotive engineer and long-time friend Gene Picchiotti is seen on the platform. Gene enjoyed a stellar career with the C&NW / Union Pacific between 1961 and 2007. This entire scene is totally covered over today.
CSS&SB Pullman built coach 7 at Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in February 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The winter of 1982 was a tough one for the South Shore. New equipment was on order but had not yet arrived. As a result of layed up older rolling stock, the South Shore was forced to borrow bi-level gallery cars and diesels from the RTA.
Click on it a couple of times to see it in high def. Seen at the Warren Lasch Conservation Center in Charleston. As a person with a life long interest in submarines this sub was at the top of the bucket list to visit, finally. Wish it had been out of the conservation pool to get very up close, but alas it wasn't. The first successful combat submarine, having sunk an enemy ship in combat. Sadly it did not survive the encounter with many theories as to why. Spent an hour and a half there and could have spent longer, un beknownst to me our motel was tremendously close to where the sub launched for the mission from. Seen here is most of the submarine with panels removed to show the workings. A tremendous technological achievement for it's time.
