1982 Nippon Sharyo electric m.u. traveling eastbound. The old Hegewisch South Shore station shown on the right.
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.

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.
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.
Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.
CSS&SB Standard Steel 28 at about Roosevelt Road in Chicago on an unknown day in August 1978, Ektachrome by Chuck Zeiler.
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.
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.
