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.

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.
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.

The USS Monitor was the revolutionary all iron design with the world's first nautical rotating gun turret. It was designed by John Ericsson and financed and promoted to the Navy by Madison's Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. When the Union learned that the Confederates were building an iron clad ship to fight against Federal blockades of Southern ports, it quickly countered with the Monitor. See www.madisonhistory.org/uss-monitor/ for the whole story. The Monitor's most notable engagement was against the CSS Virginia (a.k.a USS Merrimack) during America's Civil War at Hampton Roads, Va. in March of 1862.
This is a large (1/4"=1' scale) museum-quality wooden model of the USS Monitor in its battle-ready appearance. The model was built in the early 1970's by Arthur G. Henning, Inc, 17 South 3rd Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550, to exact measurements from archival blueprints. It is a duplicate of the model ship on display at the Smithsonian, which the Henning firm also produced. According to the firm, ours has more detail inside the turret. The ship model includes an anchor and the Ericsson-designed propellor. Painted flat black with red-lead colored hull. The ship model is 43 1/2" long X 10 3/4" wide X 6 1/2" high. It was commissioned by Dr. Philip S. Platt, a previous MHS President, in 1974 for $1,200. It was donated by him to be part of the 1974 MHS exhibit about Cornelius Bushnell and the Monitor.

A single MU is nearing the west end of Michigan City with a load of winter-weary passengers. I know I was winter-weary when I took this picture and looking forward to getting home myself.
