MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA - 08 AUG 2021
It's a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in Michigan City, where we find plenty of passenger and freight on the South Shore Line in just a short period of time. Our first train is a westbound passenger under the wire, followed by Amtrak's 365 rumbling over the South Shore at the 10th Street Interlocking. Then, a westbound South Shore freight makes way for Bailly, and he is shortly upon us at 10th Street. Afterwards, we catch back up to him at Tamarack for the meet with another passenger train, before we catch them one last time rolling by the station at Dune Park.
This is just the first of many South Shore Line videos upcoming - we'll be documenting the railroad's transformation through both the Double Track and West Lake Corridor Projects. Stay tuned!

It's cool to see some railfanning near my neck of the woods. As much as I'll miss the streetrunning, I'm very excited to see the expansion and improvements coming to the South Shore line.

a unique train crossing, in Indonesia you can probably count the train crossings like that on your fingers, always be healthy and keep producing videos 😉

Fun fact: south shore freight line is one of the only railroads that still use a caboose

Love how the camera shakes from the seismic waves generated by these monsters. :-)

@odddiabetic 2 года назад

Short but sweet. I'm in the middle of learning all the regulations and requirements for railway operation (at least in Canada, but I know a lot of the signals are the same) so it's pretty cool to be able to understand what those signals mean just by looking at them, and I understand more of what you're talking about which is really cool. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the signal aspect change around 5:00 and the dropped signal at the station towards the end of your interesting video.

It was once questionable that the South Shore would even survive let alone put in a 2nd main track! Great video!

@albertcarello619 Год назад

@b3j8: The South Shore Line came very close to extinction like the Chicago Aurora and Elgin and the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Electric Railroads. Thankfully the South Shore Line was saved by the NICTD and also a whole new line being built to Munster and Dyer IN, a 9 mile extension over the former abandoned MONON RIGHT-OF-WAY. This new extension will be passenger only trackage. There was no passenger transit agency to save the CA&E or the North Shore Line back in the 1950s sadly.

@b3j8 Год назад

@@albertcarello619 Yeah that's too bad. I often wonder had things gone better for the North Shore if it might have eventually flourished.

@albertcarello619 Год назад

@@b3j8 I think if the NORTH SHORE LINE survived it would look very much like today's SOUTH SHORE LINE and sound very much the same it's cars. There are abandoned CN&W freight right -of ways that it could utilize today and the North Shore Line could have cars like the South Shore's and not be captive by CTA'S standards and requirements limiting their size. It could maybe have a main downtown terminal somewhere around Streeterville.

@albertcarello619 Год назад

@@b3j8 If the North Shore Line survey it would probably look very much like today's SOUTH SHORE LINE and it's cars would sound exactly the same taking on a similar appearance.
