Mr. Polk and company meet AF6 at Burns Harbor. This set of buckets was bound for the Belt and eventually UP, but the CSS SD38s were the draw for me. Thanks to Polk and Mr. Kahn-Treras for the assist on this.
I had originally (over a year ago) taken last week off for a trip to Ireland with Morgan. With the virus and her getting a different job I ended up having the week to myself, and with a new house soaking up most of my money canceling plans, I figured a spur of the moment trip across the pond to visit Josh was in order. These buckets just happened to be on the way and were a great start to a solid week in the land between the lakes. Of course since I couldn't adjust my week at all it was cloudy and raining the entire time but we still made some great shots and had a damn good time covering most of the state.
The South Shore used Illinois Central trackage from Kensington into downtown. Demolition of IC Station began in 1974.

CSS&SB Pullman-built 14 at Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in February 1982, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 14 was built by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1926. It was rebuilt in 1942 along with number 15, the beginning of a rebuilding program that encompassed 33 cars (I believe). The rebuilding process added 17 feet to the middle of what was a 60 foot car. Some of the later rebuilt cars also received air-conditioning and sealed picture windows.

CSS&SB Pullman built 21 under Randolph Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Just to the east of the station platforms was a couple of tracks that ran under Randolph Street and the Prudential Building which the South Shore used for storage.
I was set up on the ICG at 95th Street to photograph a southbound South Shore train coming under the BRC, C&WI and Rock Island bridges at Burnside in July 1983. Just as I tripped the shutter, the train went in emergency and ground to a stop. As I walked towards the head end, I saw the motorman climb down from the cab and begin to look under the lead coach. As I reached the head end, I could hear air blowing from beneath the coach. I told the motorman I was a railroader too and he showed me a hole, about on inch in diameter in the brake pipe beneath the coach. There was all kinds of scrap wood and decomposing ties along the right-of-way and I looked for a piece of wood that might fit in the hole. We ended up taking three pieces of rotting ties and wrapping them in a rag. The motorman then tapped them into the hole with a wrench. I did not think it would hold, but it did. He was able to recover the air and off they went after about a ten minute delay. I can say I helped the South Shore that day.
CSS&SB Pullman built 22 at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1980, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Built in 1927 by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company as a 61 foot coach with Pullman-type smoking compartment, it was lengthened in 1945 and retained the original single widow per seat configuration. Around 1960 it was shopped and equipped with lengthened picture-window style windows (not sealed), but no air conditioning.

Have I mentioned before how, when CSS had a flight problem and could not make it to Lolla 2007, I sat in the dusty ground and cried? I just thought I would mention that again so people might realize what a great relief it was for me to photograph them this summer when they finally made it back to Chicago.

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 to 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.
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.
