In Part 2 of this 2-part Un-narrated series, there is even more electric railway action in the greater Chicago area, this time it’s on the Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad or the South Shore Line for short that also has Little Joe 802 switching cars at Georgia Pacific which is now on display at the Lake Shore Railway Museum, as well as former New York Central Box Cabs & the new stainless steel cars built in 1982 & 1983 with other road names like Chicago Transit Authority, the Chicago Aurora & Elgin with one car referred to a Gulf Mobile & Northern 4-6-2 on the Reading & Northern in Pennsylvania, as well as some more pacing, Monon with BL-2s, Illinois Central with GP7s & GP30s, Baltimore & Ohio, Chessie System, & Metra Commuter.
Locations include downtown Chicago during Construction of the Dan Ryan Highway with some pacing, Wheaton with a ride on one of the cars, South Bend Indiana, Street Running in Michigan City with the town’s shops, Burnham Yard, East Chicago IN, Gary, Hegewich, Ambridge, Hammond, Hudson Lake, Dunesland, & other unidentified spots.
All of these silent films that were shot from the 1950s to 1988 with a ride on car number 1100 have added background music.
