Our friendly South Shore freight makes a nice late morning appearance in Hammond, IN. Too bad I didn’t know he was lined all the way to Kensington.
The CSS Acadia was a hydrographic surveying ship in Canada. She is now a museum ship at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic.
Photographed using a Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 lens with a 4 sec. exposure. I bracketed exposure time. Even though the night was quite still (note the flag) there was sufficient movement of the ship to blur photos of longer exposure.
A westbound two-car CSS&SB local passenger train climbs the grade to the Ford City Curve, while at the lower right, an N&W eastbound freight heavy with autos departs Chicago. The double-track main line in the center is the C&WI. December 1979.
CSS&SB Baldwin-Westinghouse Class E 900 at Michigan City, Indiana on February 16, 1964, Koadchrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 900 was built by Baldwin-Westinghouse in 1929 for the Illinois Central as number 10000 as a result of the City of Chicago's smoke abatement ordinance in the downtown area (requiring the IC to electrify its suburban service by 1927) and was acquired by the South Shore in 1941 when the IC dieselized its Congress and 31st Street Yards in Chicago. The construction of the four IC Class E's (Class E is a Westinghouse designation) followed the South Shore's intiial order for four Class E's (road #'s 1001-1004) in 1926, specifically designed by Westinghouse to meet the South Shore's specifications. During 1927 the South Shore followed up on it's initial order with an order for two more Class E's in 1927 (#'s 1007-1008), and again during 1928 for two more (#'s 1009-1010). Baldwin designed an outside equalized truck for the South Shore orders, but for the IC order, it used its traditional steam locomotive tender truck design. The following is from Joseph Strapac's book, Interurban Electric Locomotives: One of the reasons that there was a Baldwin-Westinghouse at all was because Baldwin was so successful as an integrated manufacturer. Baldwin had sufficient capacity in its tender shop in downtown Phildelphia that it could easily underbid any proposed assembly by Westinghouse's own forces out in East Pittsburgh. Baldwin built the structure of each locomotive riveting together and empty box with trucks and couplers (and at least rudimentary train air brakes) based on the familiar technology of locomotive tenders. The frame itself was assembled from standard steel shapes, with heavy Baldwin castings at each end to tie everything together. Even the trucks themselves were adapted from tender trucks used beneath thousands of Baldwin-built steam locomotive tenders. Windows and a host of other appurtenances would be installed, then the locomotive-to-be would be shunted out to the interchange track. It would be handed off to a line-haul railroad and waybilled (as if it were a freight car) across Pennsylvania to the East Pittsburgh Works of Westinghouse. Westinghouse installed and tested electrical gear at East Pittsburgh. The locomotives would be finish-painted (they left Baldwin in primer), tested and otherwise prepared for delivery. A short stretch of adjustable-voltage overhead behind the Works allowed road testing (and publicity photographs) when the locomotive was complete. This track was historically 'pantograph country', so locomotives destined for customers who used only trolley poles or third rail were often pictured at this site fitted with pantographs - which would be removed prior to shipment.
CSS&SB Pullman built 12 at South Bend, Indiana on August 1, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 12 was built in early 1926 by the Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company, delivered to the South Shore by June 1926, rebuilt in 1945, flourescent lighting replaced incandescent, and the car was lengthened from a 60 foot car to a 77 foot car. It is seen here at the South Bend coach yard about to return an Illini Railroad Club fan trip to Chicago, once the headlight is installed.
CSS&SB 40 trailing at Monroe Street in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in August 1979, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Note the gentleman attending to the overhead. Number 40 was built in 1929 by the Standard Steel Car Company as control trailer 213, was motorized in 1938 and renumbered to 40.

CSS&SB Pullman built 21 inbound at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on May 13, 1983, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. 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.
This is partially in order to explain where the hell I've been (shooting bands, lights and grubby punters), but also it's a portrait of a cool woman with a bit of flare .. so dingdong I'll see you later.
Project for client. CSS: cascading style sheets. I went for a MOD/Punk esthetic. The target was carved on a linoleum block, printed first on the Vandercook press in Fire Engine Red. Then I printed CSS in Sans Serif Wood Block type, all on heavy canvas.
South Shore train No. 503 heads east on a clear signal at the Ice House Crossing, on October 6, 2019.
is located on a rise called Flag Staff Hill. The monument is neoclassical in design, taking the form of a victory column carved of Hallowell white granite. The monument rises to a height of 126 feet. The platform is 38 feet square and features four bas-relief bronze tablets. The first tablet is titled The Departure for the War, and depicts a regiment marching by the Massachusetts State House. The second bas-relief tablet depicts the medical care on the battlefield and is titled The Sanitary Commission. The third tablet depicts Union sailors in an engagement between a Federal man-of-war and a Confederate ironclad likely the CSS Virginia. The fourth tablet, entitled The Return from the War shows a regiment of veterans marching by the State House to present their battle flags to Governor John Albion Andrew.
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.
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.
