CSS&SB Pullman built coach 6 at Michigan City, Indiana on an unknown day in April 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler.

Also seen (left to right) are trailer 204. 201, motor 6, and 704, the former NYC class R-2 343, rebuilt by the CSS&SB in 1956. The occasion was a CERA sponsored fan trip.

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.

CSS&SB GE 1013 at Michigan City, Indiana on October 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Previous orders for South Shore freight locomotives had been placed with Baldwin, with electrical gear supplied by Westinghouse (road #'s 1001-1010). By 1929, GE took note of this sudden spike in the competitor's business and entered the bidding on the next batch when the South Shore asked for proposals. Whether any profit was earned is a good question, but nonetheless General Electric was awarded the contract for CSS&SB #'s 1011-1013, and they were erected and equipped by GE at Erie, Pennsylvania. As delivered, these locomotives also had a trolley pole (the reason for the offset pantograph) and third rail collection devices, and were designed to operate on South Shore's 1500 VDC or Samuel Insull's other two Chicago railroads (CNS&M and CA&E) 600 VDC, although there is no evidence that these locomotives ever left CSS&SB rails. Lookalikes (GE engineers drew up their own blueprints, the GE's had four front windows instead of Baldwin's three) for the Baldwin-Westinghouse Class E motors, #'s 1011-1013 were set up to run in multiple with them as well. They were shipped by GE between December 1929 and November 1930, all were retired in January 1967 and scrapped by Precision Engineering.

CSS&SB Baldwin Westinghouse 903 at Michigan City, Indiana on February 16, 1964, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 903 was built in September 1929 (c/n 61047) cataloged as a Class E. The body was built by Baldwin in their tender shops and then shipped to Westinghouse for installation of the electrical apparatus. It was delivered to the Illinois Central in February 1930, numbered IC 10001, and used in the Congress Street and 31st Street yards. This was one of four such locomotives (IC 10000-10003) designed to comply with Chicago's smoke abatement laws. The IC changed to diesel locomotives in 1940, and the electric locomotives were sold to a dealer in Hammond, Indiana, who sold all four to the South Shore for $30,000.00 each. The South Shore had previously acquired their own Class E locomotives from the same builder(s) and with the acquisition of the IC's locomotives became the sole owner of all the Class E's ever built.
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.
