Project for client. CSS: cascading style sheets. I went for a MOD/Punk esthetic. The target was carved on a linoleum block, printed first on the Vandercook press in Fire Engine Red. Then I printed CSS in Sans Serif Wood Block type, all on heavy canvas.
This is partially in order to explain where the hell I've been (shooting bands, lights and grubby punters), but also it's a portrait of a cool woman with a bit of flare .. so dingdong I'll see you later.

CSS&SB GE 1013 at Michigan City, Indiana on October 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Previous orders for South Shore freight locomotives had been placed with Baldwin, with electrical gear supplied by Westinghouse (road #'s 1001-1010). By 1929, GE took note of this sudden spike in the competitor's business and entered the bidding on the next batch when the South Shore asked for proposals. Whether any profit was earned is a good question, but nonetheless General Electric was awarded the contract for CSS&SB #'s 1011-1013, and they were erected and equipped by GE at Erie, Pennsylvania. As delivered, these locomotives also had a trolley pole (the reason for the offset pantograph) and third rail collection devices, and were designed to operate on South Shore's 1500 VDC or Samuel Insull's other two Chicago railroads (CNS&M and CA&E) 600 VDC, although there is no evidence that these locomotives ever left CSS&SB rails. Lookalikes (GE engineers drew up their own blueprints, the GE's had four front windows instead of Baldwin's three) for the Baldwin-Westinghouse Class E motors, #'s 1011-1013 were set up to run in multiple with them as well. They were shipped by GE between December 1929 and November 1930, all were retired in January 1967 and scrapped by Precision Engineering.
Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman built coach 1 built by Pullman Car & Manufacturing Company at Michigan City Shops, Indiana, sometime in April 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 1 headed a Central Electric Railfans Association sponsored fan trip from Chicago to Michigan City. This is a good example of a circuit break in the overhead wire. Notice that the wires crossing in front of the lead car are supplying power to separate parts of the overhead wire, and that wire is spliced by insulated sections. The insulators are visible covering the front truck of the lead car, and the other insulator is above the rear truck of the caboose in this view.

CSS&SB Pullman built 21 inbound at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on May 13, 1983, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built as a 61 foot coach with a Pullman style smoking compartment by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1927, it was rebuilt in 1946 by adding a 17 foot section in the middle.
CSS&SB Alco-GE 702 at Michigan City, Indiana, October 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 702 was built in 1931 by Alco-GE for the NYC as C-C class R-2 314 (c/n's Alco 68242, GE 11165) for the West Side (NYC) freight electrification. When the NYC dieselized that line, the R-2's became surplus, and the South Shore purchased 10 of the units (at a cost of $9,000.00 each), overhauled and rewired eight of them (at a cost of $88,248.00 each). They were converted from NYC's 600 volt DC to the South Shore's 1500 volt DC system and became road #'s 700-707. This unit was put into service in 1955, weighed 140 tons, and developed 3000 horsepower. The pantographs, compressors, motor blowers, and series-parallel switches were from former Cleveland Union Terminal 700 class locomotives, also built by Alco-GE for the NYC. The South Shore's 700 series locomotives were all retired in 1975.
I wanted to hide friends & fans, as I find those sections pointless - and only cause my friends spam friend requests. So I hid the friends & fans, bumped up the karma font size, and remove some height to the page.
Chicago South Shore & South Bend #33 sits on the siding at the East Troy electric Railroad. #33 is one of five cars East Troy acquired from the National Park Service in 2010. Notice the relatively intact destination sign-box.
Car 33 is the most recent restoration at the East Troy Railroad Museum, completed in 2016. The sign box has been also restored.
