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&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 Standard Steel 33 at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in June, 1980, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 33 appears to be leaning away from the platform.
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.
Continuing with the interurban theme, a Sperry Rail Service Detector car is headed East past the Beverly Shores depot. The Gas-electric was built in 1925 for the LV.
CSS&SB 39 and 802 at Michigan City, Indiana on an unknown day in May 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 39 was built by the Standard Steel Car Company during 1929 and was equipped with a Pullman-type smoking compartment (a separate room with a passage aisle along one side).
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.
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.
Both of Chicago South Shore's SD38-2 locomotives, both ex-IAIS, lead a healthy manifest west through the Ogden Dunes, IN station on the South Shore mainline.
In a view from the parallel C&WI Main Line RoW, a four-car CSS&SB passenger train approaches the Hegewisch station, 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.
