Sentimental Journey ... I rode the South Shore many times from South Bend (home) to Chicago and back as a small boy, and then later, after having gone off to school on the West Coast, when coming home for Christmas or such. I love trains, and loved the old Orange Peril, as we jokingly called it. Hope she keeps rolling another hundred years! Thanks for the memories.
I have ridden the south shore from Chicago to Chesterton Indiana many times with my grandmother who is no longer with us, This brings back memories from that time. I miss you grandma :(
16:26 Immediately east of the tracks was the site of Illinois Central (the railroad) Hospital, where I was born. The site is now occupied by a U. of Chicago pre-school. Thanks for the unexpected memory!
I purchase my first JVC boom box in the 80's traveling from Gary to Chicago. Every two weeks I would catch the train and make payments. Yep, I had the law-a-way plan) As old blue eyes would say, Thanks For The Memory
