An overnight early November lake effect snowfall off Lake Michigan compliments the scene. And as can be seen in the distance the snow continues to the west over the southern and eastern suburbs of Chicagoland.
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.
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.

A three-car eastbound South Shore passenger train crosses the ICG heading for home rails at Kensington Tower on a very frigid morning, in January 1982.
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.
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.
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 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)
The South Shore crosses under their mainline as they prepare to drop off cars on the CSX Barr sub.

Airbus A320-212 of Anda Air (operated by Jonika Airlines) in Lviv as charter flight from Sharm-El-Sheikh on a rainy day.
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.

CSS&SB 111 at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on June 29, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.
I REALLY wanted the pond shot south of LaPorte and after a cloudless dawn was rudely interrupted by low level condensation clouds pushing off of Lake Michigan I was pretty sure I wasn't going to get it.
With help from Mike I knew they had work to do at LaPorte so I set up for a smoker of them going over the diamond with the NYC and hot annihilated by a last second cloud. Once I was south of the Central I started running hot and got this and a couple others.
We're on the Kingsbury Industrial Lead, former Nickel Plate.
