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 is most of the submarine with panels removed to show the workings. A tremendous technological achievement for it's time.
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.
Michigan City, Indiana
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.
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).
The Teaser was a rather interesting tugboat that served in the American Civil War as a gunboat, originally fighting for the Confederacy and eventually captured and used by the Union. She was present at the Battle of Hampton Roads as a tender for the CSS Virginia. She also served as a platform for a hot air balloon, which was named “Gazelle”; this hot air balloon was made out of women’s dress fabric, scraps of which survive today. No good photos or diagrams exist of the Teaser, so I based the design mostly off from other tugboats of the period.
CSS&SB Pullman 5 at Randolph Street in Chicago, Illinois on June 29, 1966, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 5 was built by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1926, part of the first order of ten new cars by the Insull administration to modernize the Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend, which entered recievership February 28, 1925 and was purchased by Samuel Insull's newly formed Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad on July 29, 1925 for $6,474,843.00 at auction, the only bid received.

Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman-built 102 at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This sort of weather was not good for traction motors.
CSS&SB Pullman-built 103 at the Michigan City Shops on October 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 103 was built by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1926 as a 60 foot combination car with a smoking compartment. During 1943 it was lengthened to a 77 foot car by splicing a 17 foot section in the middle. During 1950 it received air-conditioning equipment and the windows were changed to sealed "picture" windows.

A pair of South Shore GP38-2s led by #2002 make their way east along the CSS main line as they pass the newly renovated Ogden Dunes, IN commuter station.
Notice the new gauntlet track the locomotives are traversing - commuter trains would use the inside track to get close to the platform while freight trains use the outside track, as shown here.

South Shore Line train #608 jockeys for position with automobiles in the middle of 11th Street in Michigan City, Indiana on Saturday, February 26, 2022. While putting a railroad track down the middle of the street may have sounded like a good idea in 1908, such is no longer the case with the increase in four-wheeled as well as steel-wheeled traffic down 10th and 11th Streets in Michigan City.
Just two days later, this scene vanished forever as the South Shore embarked on a double tracking project between Gary and Michigan City. The last passenger train traversed the storied street running early that Monday morning, and buses would bridge the gap for passengers between Dune Park and the Carroll Avenue station in Michigan City until Fall 2022 (deadhead equipment moves and freight traffic would continue to traverse the street as construction progressed). In the meantime, crews constructed a second main track, adjusted the position of the existing track, and separated both tracks from 11th Street, which would become one-way only in the direction that you see the vehicles traveling. A twelve story luxury apartment building, parking garage, and new 11th Street station will rise up behind the train in this photo, replacing the old 11th Street station building that had been recently demolished (the terra cotta facade of the old station was saved and will be reused for the new building). New high-level platforms will eliminate the time-honored practice of passengers embarking or disembarking directly from or onto the pavement of 11th Street. Houses and even a church have already been purchased and demolished all along 10th and 11th Streets to provide space for this long-awaited project.
In other words, this scene - indeed everything along 10th and 11th Streets in Michigan City - will look radically different, maybe even unrecognizable, in the months and years to come. Someday we'll look at this image and say, "Everything you see in this photo except for the sky is gone", much like we do for many historical railroad photos. Sigh.
Such is the price of progress.
