I think I can!! |
| Description: |
South Shore, in an effort to boost rider morale, put these stickers on the side of their cars in the late 70s. The railroad, at the time, was in disrepair, its cars over 50 years old, and much of its infrastructure in need of updating. Salvation would come in a few years with the NICTD, which today runs the South Shore with some funding from Indiana. In 1978, it was on a wing and a prayer-and a little optimism. |

South Shore at Randolph St |
| Description: |
A South Shore train arrives from Indiana at the CSS&SB section of IC's Randolph St. Station in Chicago. The cars would be replaced starting the next year. Note the stainless steel bi levels in the left background. These were from a diesel train the South Shore was using for extra capacity at the time. |

Pretty station |

Stations on the South Shore run the gamut from bare bones to elegant. On the elegant end of the scale is this pretty building at Beverly Shores, a classic and often photographed building, and deservedly so. |

Old building |
| Description: |
The old station building, the one that had a ticket office and waiting room, sits forlornly along 10th St, the trains now picking up and discharging passengers down the block to the east. For comparison, see the photos in this album from the 1980s. |
