| CSS&SB Pullman 11 at Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois, March 1979, photo by Chuck Zeiler. Number 11 was built by Paullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1926, part of the 11-15 number series built on that order. As originally built it was 60' long and seated 56 passengers. In 1942 the South Shore began a program to increase the length of the 60' coaches, and by 1946, number 11 had a 17' 6" section cut into it, resulting in a seating increase from 56 to 80 passengers. This car represents one of the early rebuilds with the horns exposed. Later rebuilds had the horns mounted over the center of the roof and covered with a fairing. |
