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.

CSS EMD Gp38-2 #2010 is seen at Michigan City, Indiana on March 21st, 2022. Train is sitting on the former MC R-O-W (now Amtrak) just east of the drawbridge. Locomotive was built as DVR #220 in April of 1981. Unit has worn the name of the LIRC as well.
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.

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.
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.
