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&SB 20 HIRAM at Randolph Street in Chicago, Illinois on May 23, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The following is from www.ozarkmountainrailcar.com:
Built in 1923 as a 10 section/observation lounge by Pullman and named Mt. Desert, it operated in general pool service until sold to the New York Central Railroad. After extensive rebuilding the car emerged from the NYC shops as business car 20. Rebuilt by the NYC and modernized in the 1940's, the 1940's rebuild included the installation of new smooth side sheets and streamlined roof. Retired by the railroad in the 1960's and sold into private ownership.

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 are the dive planes, one of the hand crank positions to drive the propeller and the front hatch. A tremendous technological achievement for it's time
A westbound CSS&SB passenger train heads into the evening and towards the grade up to the viaduct that will carry it over the adjacent C&WI and N&W main lines, in March 1982.
America's last interurban put on a big-time, heavy duty operation during rush hours and here at Hegewisch, the passengers are loaded and the flagman peers ahead for a highball from the conductor as the big eight-car South Shore train prepares to depart, in August 1982.
South Shore combine No. 108 leads an eastbound train over the Conrail SC&S diamond at Burnham crossing, in October 1981. The westbound main of the Western Indiana is the parallel track in the foreground.
Heading into Hegewisch, an eight-car South Shore passenger train brakes for the station stop, in March 1982. Old head political junkies will note the Ty Fahner for Attorney General billboard at left.

Testing Mr Clayson's wonderful IE CSS discovery, with some quick changes.
All browsers get the basic version. IE7 and modern browsers get the full CSS after that, but IE6 gets it's own special stylesheet (above).
CSS 2000 & 2001 dropped a cut of cars behind Pioneer Lumber and head east to switch Criterion. The two GP38-2's and train reached their destination via the Amtrak Michigan Line minus the ever so common PTC.

CSS&SB Pullman built 103 arriving at the Randolph Street Station, Chicago, Illinois, March 1980, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. I worked in an office building in downtown Chicago during this time frame, and during my lunch hour, I often took South Shore photos, particularly if the company camera was loaded with film (I was their audio-visual guy).
