The South Shore Line by Trolley

Follow The South Shore Line (now run by the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District) through the years - and through the eyes of several videographers. 1956-58 - Frank Pfuhler documents the orange and maroon Pullman-built battleships from the original terminus in downtown South Bend all the way to Randolph St. in Chicago; screaming across the swells of the Indiana prairie in the epitome of interurban style. This DVD features plenty of 6000 horsepower Little Joe's and many ex-New York Central R-2's.1965 - Myron Weber traces the South Shore in both summer and winter. Through rain, shine and snow he records the banshee moan of the passenger trains rocketing at record-breaking speed through the dunes, by the grain elevators and past the steel mills. 1981 - Through streets and countryside passenger trains race east to South Bend and west again, leaving high-speed traffic on the parallel Indiana Toll Road in the dust. Bright orange Little Joe's methodically work the freight and sidings. 1992 - Silver South Shore cars make the trip on the new airport connection.
