CSS&SB Alco-GE 702
Title:  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.

Title:  CSS 2-D-D-2 #801 & 803 - Chicago, South Shore & South Bend
Description:  This boxcab was built by Alco-GE originally for New York Central in 1930 as NYC #303. After serving the NYC for nearly 25 years, it was sold to the South Shore Line in 1955. It was rebuilt and then served the CSS until being replaced by diesels in the 1980's. A rail fan listed only as "BH" on the photo took this at the Carroll Avenue station in Michigan City sometime in the late 1970's.
