Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman built trailers 204 and 205 at Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois, on an unknown day in February 1982, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Both cars were built as 61 foot trailers in 1927 by Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company, number 204 was lengthened at Michigan City to 78 feet in 1947, the same for 205 but in 1948. As originally built, each trailer had rotating bucket seats upholstered in Byzantine plush and, in place of the customary smoking section, the cars were provided with an enclosed Pullman-type smoking compartment with facing leather-covered seats for eight passengers. An aisle passing around the compartment made in unnecessary for passengers entering or leaving the car to pass through the smoking compartment. |

Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman built trailer 206 at the Randolph Street Station, Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in September 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 206 was built in 1927 by the Pullman Car and Manufacturing Company, one of ten ordered by the Insull management to handle increased passenger traffic. Twenty new cars were ordered in 1927 to suppliment the 25 cars delivered in 1926; ten were motor coaches and ten were control trailers, all were 61 foot in length. The seats were changed from walkover seating (on the original 25 cars) to rotating bucket seats , and the smoking section was changed to a Pullman-style smoking compartment. An aisle passing around the compartment made it unnecessary for passengers entering or leaving the car to pass through the smoking compartment. In 1948 number 206 was lengthened to 78 feet by splicing a 17 foot section in the middle. |

CSS&SB Standard 353 |
| Description: |
CSS&SB control trailer 353 at Gary, Indiana on February 16, 1964, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Built by Standard Steel Car Company in 1929, this was one of four parlor cars built for the South Shore. The first two, 351 and 352, were built by Pullman and were heavier (111,400 pounds) and required a pair of six-wheel trucks. The second two, 353 and 354 were lighter (92,350 pounds) and used the South Shore's then standard Baldwin 84-60AA trucks without traction motors. As built there were 24 individual seats availble for 50 cents over the regular fare, no controls and the end windows at both ends were considerably larger, going almost to the floor. The parlor cars were generally at the end of Limiteds which also included dining cars. By 1937 the demand for parlor car service had all but vanished and the two Standard Steel parlor cars were converted to control trailer coaches with 56 seats. |

CSS&SB GP7 615 |
| Description: |
CSS&SB GP7 615 at Michigan City, Indiana, October, 1980, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Admittedly a bad photo, it was shot from a passing train. Number 615 was built in October 1952 as FEC GP7 615 (c/n 17352) on EMD Order 6416. The South Shore had eight GP7's from parent C&O in the late-1970's, and as the electric freight locomotives were gradually retired, there came a neeed for additional diesel power, so three GP7's were acquired from the FEC. The following is recalled by J. D. Santucci (Hot Times On The High Iron at railroad.net): These three units (#'s 614, 615, 618) had been stored for quite some time before coming to the South Shore. They were in poor mechanical shape. Unlike the former C&O Geeps, these units were never repainted or renumbered. They carried their FEC 600 series numbers up to the end of their days on the South Shore. With the addition of the former FEC units, all remaining electric locomotives except the Little Joe’s were retired. The Engineers at the Shore often spoke of their disdain for these Geeps. They complained of their poor mechanical and electrical condition and frequent problems encountered with their operation. They told of the former FEC units being infested with mice while stored in Florida. The mice apparently made the trip to Indiana. Wiring was badly damaged by these pesky critters. |

CSS&SB Alco-GE 702 |
| Description: |
CSS&SB Alco-GE 702 at Michigan City, Indiana on 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. |

CSS&SB Baldwin-Westinghouse 900 |
| Description: |
CSS&SB Baldwin-Westinghouse Class E 900 at Michigan City, Indiana on February 16, 1964, Kodachrome 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 902 |
| Description: |
CSS&SB Baldwin-Westinghouse Class E 902 at Michigan City, Indiana on October 23, 1965, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 902 was built in September 1929 (c/n 61048) as Illinois Central 10002. In 1941 the South Shore obtained the four Class E's built for the IC (#'s 10000-10003), renumbering them 900-903. One of the results was that every B-W Class E ever built was on the South Shore's roster. They were designed for a top speed of 45 mph and weighed over 90 tons. Baldwin constructed the carbodies in their tender shops in Philadelphia, using standard tender structural components, shipped the empty shells on modified tender trucks to Pittsburgh where Westinghouse installed the electrical systems, tested, then sold them to customers, the IC in this case. Baldwin was merely a contract supplier. |

CSS&SB 903 |
| Description: |
CSS&SB Baldwin Westinghouse 903 parked 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 January 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 Station |
| Description: |
Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad station at Randolph Street in Chicago, Illinois as seen from the 52nd floor of the (then) Standard Oil Building on May 23, 1985, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This was the view from my office for a couple of years that I worked for a company that occupied that floor. All the rails seen are now under Millennium Park. Also seen is a bi-level train borrowed from the RTA to fill in during an equipment shortage. The CSS&SB private car HIRAM is on the rear of the RTA train. |
