A westbound CSS mixed freight departs Michigan City for Goff behind a pair of traction orange GP38-2s. In the distance on the left is the iconic cooling tower of the NIPSCO Michigan City Generating Station. It serves the purpose of cooling water discharged from the plant before it is released into Lake Michigan. The plant is currently expected to be shut down in 2028.
2101 is westbound at Green Spring WV on 5-28-77. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it was free. William J Madden photo, JL Sessa collection.
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 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.

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.

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)

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.
CSS PF-10 charges through Gary, Indiana on the old EJ&E city track as it heads to interchange cars with CN. Gary was getting lake effect snow dumped on it.
