Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad 201 at Michigan City, Indiana on July 12, 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 201 was built by Pullman Car and Manufacturing in 1927 (along with #'s 202-210) as a 60 foot control trailer and included a Pullman-type smoking compartment. During 1946 number 201 was lengthened to 77 foot by splicing a 17 foot section in the middle.
Easily identified by her twin stacks, the Florida was a successful commerce raider until being captured by the Union sloop USS Wachusett (not named after a sneeze, as sometimes claimed) in the Brazilian port of Bahia. This was a violation of Brazilian sovreignity, and the United States apologized, but the Florida was towed to Hampton Roads, where she "accidentally" sank in a collision before she could be handed over to the Brazilian authorities.

Looking northwest at the old NKP main that South Shore Freight now uses as a yard lead for switching cars in Michigan City. This line once kept going through the trees, crossed Highway 12, and connected with the Michigan Central (Amtrak) about a mile down.

The CSS Chattahoochee was a gunboat built downriver from Columbus, Georgia for Confederate States Navy service. Commissioned in January 1863, it was brought near Columbus in April, 1865, and scuttled to prevent its capture. Its remains were rediscovered in 1963 and brought to this museum.

One of the six 9" Dahlgren cannons the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia was armed with, in Fredericksburg, VA. The muzzle was blown off by a lucky hit from a Union artillery piece, and it was preserved as a relic of the Civil War. Note the brown bird droppings all the cannon. this appears to be a serious problem in Fredericksburg.
