Why did the south shore upgrade to ctc? As a resault the road repeater is sure quiietter then it used to be

@css903 Thanks for explaining that. I noticed the inner and outer tracks at East Chicago station and didn't know why. I figured it was for non-stopping trains but didn't figure it was freight.

With these new bi-level cars, I'm not even sure if I should call this line an "interurban" line anymore--the new passenger cars no longer remind me of the old interurban cars from 70-80 years ago.

Somewhat interesting arrangement to switch to a "parallel" set of tracks to pull the trainset closer to the platform. I'll assume that through trains do not switch. Don't believe I've ever seen that before.

very nice..Im from the northeast..the balast track and stations on the this section u videoed look new..or is just a improvements, what are the 2 rails in the middle of the track for?

do you have a video of the exterior?
Call it what you may, it's my favorite line whatever name used, "The South Shore Line" You are correct as they do not appear to be interurban, still love'm just the same.

The South Shore Operates Freights which are wider than the commuter cars. So As Not To Drag On The Platforms, There's A Parallel Goutlet Track. There's Also Tracks Like This At East Chicago & Gary.

At bridges, the two extra tracks are in case of derailment. Glad you liked the video!

Hello Css..I live in South Bend away from the tracks now and don't get to see the new cars. Do they even come this far, or are they just used between Michigan City and Chicago? Next video you do, I would love to see the inside of both decks. I grew up riding the old Orange and Maroon trains.

I will make of point of it next time I am home which should be in July. I would guess they go to SB, but I have only ridden them to Hegewisch so far
