Built in 1913 in Newcastle upon Tyne. A Canadian survey ship that served in both World Wars and survived the Halifax explosion. She surveyed the waters of Canada's Arctic and the coast of Newfoundland and was also used as a patrol and training vessel. Now permanently docked in Halifax Harbour next to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
Working with a three man crew, the AF4 heads back north after working multiple industries including Kingsbury, Pigfeed, and interchange with the CN at Stillwell. Here the Chicago South Shore Kingsbury local is seen passing by the pond in La Porte as the sun begins to set. Big thanks to the conductor on the job for giving us a run down of the day's work.
CSS 805 leads a pair of UP GEVOs on an empty NORX train towards Hegewisch, IL, where it will be staged until the UP would have a crew ready to take it towards the Powder River Basin to be loaded with more black diamonds.

Intense, yet narrow-coveraged lake effect snow is plaguing NW Indiana on this date as a Saturday afternoon version of CSS acts as if nothing is amiss.

CSS train AF2 just came through the drawbridge on Amtrak's Michigan line. The CSS works a couple industries on this side of the river. It was another frigid day in the Midwest. I woke up to -12 degrees, drove the 2 1/4 hours to Michigan City to chase the CSS down the Kingsbury line. When I arrived, I received the disappointing news that they were not running down there today. But found out the AF2 job was waiting near Drawbridge for Amtrak to go by. Thanks to KV for the tip.

CSS 2009 runs through the controlled siding under the x-Michigan Central coal tower in Michigan City. A large number of cars for USALCO and Shell necessitated the move.
The buck in the foreground had something pique it's interest as the toms in the background tried to get laid. We're at the crossing of IN 35 outside of LaPorte on South Shore's Kingsbury Industrial Lead (NKP)
Airbus A320-212 of Anda Air (operated by Jonika Airlines) in Lviv as charter flight from Sharm-El-Sheikh on a rainy day.
Seeing a South Shore 800 was always a treat for me. The CSS&SB's version of the Little Joe was massive, powerful, and sleek. It didn't make any difference if it was moving or standing still, the 800's were hard to beat.
Things get exciting for a moment at 95th Street as four trains move through the area at once. South Shore's Belt Job had just come down the BRC-IC connector with traffic from South Chicago. Here they are creeping towards their own trackage at Kensington, about to be overtaken by CN's Glenn-Kirk transfer, L536. Meanwhile, eastbound intermodal and manifest trains occupy the Belt/NS corridor overhead. The CCNI container compliments the Traction Orange geeps nicely.

A set of South Shore Freight GP38-2's ease around the "city track" from Kirk Yard to head back east to CSS trackage at Curtis. This shot just off of Clark Road sure makes the area look like a complete wasteland.
