CSS&SB 802, East Chicago IN rs
One of the South Shore's legendary 800's heads for home as it climbs the hill approaching the East Chicago Cut-off, which was constructed during the building of the Indiana Toll Road. It's May 21, 1980, and the three massive GE electrics, the 801, 802, and 803, don't have much time left gracing the rails of the South Shore. The spring switch in the foreground led down to the B&O's East Chicago yard, which the 800's used to use daily delivering and pulling transfers.
