CSS&SB Pullman built 15 on a fantrip at an unknown location on an unknown day in October 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.
A South Shore trainman is seen in the rear vestibule of a disabled southbound train on the ICG at 95th Street, in July 1983.. An air brake pipe on the lead coach blew out, putting the train into emergency braking. I helped the motorman find some pieces of wood from old ties that we wrapped in a rag and then he pounded same into the hole with his wrench. Our makeshift repair filled the hole and he was able to recover the air and resume their journey to Michigan City. The Rock Island / C&WI and BRC bridges are seen behind.

CSS&SB 11 at Bendix, South Bend, Indiana on July 27, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is the Bendix station on the western edge of South Bend. The tracks were cut back to this point in 1970 to avoid street running. This car was built by Nippon Sharyo in 1982, the second 11 on the South Shore. It was wrecked June 18, 1998 when it collided with a tractor-trailer loaded with steel coils weighing 19 tons each, one of which broke loose upon impact and rolled through the car destroying it. It was replaced by the NICD in 2001 with third number 11. The NTSB report of the accident is at the address below:

The South Shore used Illinois Central trackage from Kensington into downtown. Demolition of IC Station began in 1974.

Mr. Polk and company meet AF6 at Burns Harbor. This set of buckets was bound for the Belt and eventually UP, but the CSS SD38s were the draw for me. Thanks to Polk and Mr. Kahn-Treras for the assist on this.
I had originally (over a year ago) taken last week off for a trip to Ireland with Morgan. With the virus and her getting a different job I ended up having the week to myself, and with a new house soaking up most of my money canceling plans, I figured a spur of the moment trip across the pond to visit Josh was in order. These buckets just happened to be on the way and were a great start to a solid week in the land between the lakes. Of course since I couldn't adjust my week at all it was cloudy and raining the entire time but we still made some great shots and had a damn good time covering most of the state.

It was rebuilt in 1946 at which time a 17 foot section was spliced into the middle, creating a 77 foot car and increasing capacity from 56 to 80 seats.
A westbound CSS&SB passenger train has just departed Hegewisch and is seen heading for the old Ford City Curve viaduct over the NS and Torrence Avenue, on May 8, 2008.
On the home stretch into Hegewisch, a six-car South Shore train drops down the grade, in August 1982.
Following his talk, ìThink Like a Mountainî at Web Directions South 2007, Andy Clarke introduced the CSS Eleven project.
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.
