CSS train PF9 is passing the Asgrow Fertilizers farm in Stillwell, IN on its way to Kingsbury.

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.

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.

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 theme of my weekend was MOODLE and INTRO to CSS. Saturday am woke up at 4am burning with the desire to record my top ten tips for new edna Groups users. Shared it in the edna Group Owners forum and will work up a blog post soon.

Saturday night watched a great series of how to videos from the Moodleman himself Julian Ridden on how to create a Moodle template.

Tonight, I dug in and gave it a go. This is NOT the finished product, it's where I had to stop for tonight. I had a fantastic time learning and love, love, love Firebug, Dreamweaver, Filezilla and Gimp in concert. Also LOVE Colour Picker. (Yes I know Dreamweaver can FTP, no I haven't set it up yet cuz I was impatient.)

DOM = document object model (everything on a single web page *document* everything on that page is an object. Colour picker can spit back a palette of a web.

South Shore's SD38-2 pair was in charge of an afternoon belt job I accidentally stumbled upon while leaving Michigan City. There was hardly a cloud in the sky back east, but after chasing them west some 20 miles a wave of rain moved in making me loose motivation in Gary.

CSS&SB back home in Indiana.

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.
