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 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 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.

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.

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.
