Accidental double exposure with South Shore & GTW freights, these were taken when I had a cheapo camera as a kid, early 1980s I think. #SouthShore #CSS&SB #SouthShoreLine #Chicago #South #Shore #GTW #GrandTrunkWestern #film #doubleexposure
Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman-built 8 at about Roosevelt Road in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in October 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 8 was built by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company in early 1926, delivered to the new CSS&SB (which took over the bankrupt CLS&SB) by June 1926.

Acadia was launched in 1913 at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England at the yards of Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd. She was the first vessel specifically designed and built to survey Canada's northern waters, and her career took her from the dangerous, ice-infested waters of Hudson's Bay to Nova Scotia's South Shore. In her early years, she was responsible for pioneering hydrographic research in Canada's Arctic waters. At the end of her career, she was used to chart the coast of Newfoundland after it joined Confederation in 1949, creating entirely new charts and updating some that were nearly a century old.
Acadia also holds the distinction of being the only surviving ship to have served the Royal Canadian Navy during both world wars. She served as a patrol and escort vessel from 1916 to 1919. She received minor damage in the Halifax Explosion in 1917 while acting as a guard ship in Bedford Basin, making her the only vessel still afloat today to have survived the Halifax Explosion. Acadia was recommissioned as a warship in 1939 serving first as a patrol vessel and later as a training ship until the war's end in 1945.
Acadia remains a classic example of the best that her British builders had to offer. Built during the Edwardian era, her splendid lines run uninterrupted from the straight bow to a graceful counter stern. With her two masts and her single funnel, she resembles a small steam yacht more than a hardworking survey vessel.
Her interior displays a class of marine craftsmanship typical of that great tradition. Beautiful mahogany and oak panelling and fine brasswork are found throughout the quarters of the hydrographic staff and officers, giving them accommodations that suggest the great ocean liners of the same era.
So strongly built was Acadia's ice-strengthened hull, that she was often employed as an auxiliary ice breaker in her early years, something for which she was not really designed and which gave her masters and crew an occasional nervous moment.
As a state-of-the-art vessel and an important part of the operations of the Canadian Hydrographic Service, Acadia often pioneered the testing and development of new technology. But despite all the cutting edge equipment introduced aboard Acadia, her triple-expansion steam engines and two coal-fired, Scotch marine boilers were in operation until she retired. This made her a rarity among the Hydrographic Service's fleet and made her easy to spot as she entered port trailing an unmistakable trail of black smoke.
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.
Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman-built 100 at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.

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 Pullman built coach 6 at Michigan City, Indiana on an unknown day in April 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 6 was built in 1926 by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company as part of the first ten car order placed by the newly formed Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad, which took over control of the bankrupt Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend Railroad in 1926. 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.

Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman built coach 1 built by Pullman Car & Manufacturing Company at Michigan City Shops, Indiana, sometime in April 1975, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 1 headed a Central Electric Railfans Association sponsored fan trip from Chicago to Michigan City. This is a good example of a circuit break in the overhead wire. Notice that the wires crossing in front of the lead car are supplying power to separate parts of the overhead wire, and that wire is spliced by insulated sections. The insulators are visible covering the front truck of the lead car, and the other insulator is above the rear truck of the caboose in this view.
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.

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.
