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.

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.
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.

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.

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 1913–1969, 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.[1]
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.

hehehe, not many photos tonight. The camera police got me. One day I'll be carried out of some venue for sure.
OMG!!! With that light they think I would manage anything with my silly Sony DSCH2. I WISH!!!!
I had many cameras in my bag but the girl was fine at the door when I said I had been photographing around london. I should've known once inside the guys in there wouldn't be that nice.
Great gig though, CSS even played some brazilian music before their entrance. I even wriggled my butt a bit.
Para meu amigos brasileiros. Essa banda e brasileira para alguns de voces saberem. Eles fazem muito sucesso aqui na Inglaterra.
Eu gosto muito deles e e sempre bom de ver gente da terra tocando por aqui.
Hoje a noite entrei sem problema com minha camera, mas dentro os segurancas nao estavam tao amigaveis e mandaram eu guardar a camera. Fico triste quando nao posso fotografar mas me divirto assim mesmo pois adoro meus shows de musica ao vivo como voces ja devem ter percebido.
Com a luz que estava no palco seria um milagre conseguir alguma coisa que valesse a pena mas mesmo assim eles nao dao moleza.
O show foi otimo e eles ate tocaram aquela musica Requebra e eu ate dei uma sambadinha de leve.
Beijos meus amigos.
