      <title>MOONLIGHT IN DUNELAND: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE CHICAGO SOUTH SHORE AND SOUTH BEND RAILROAD</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/748156</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad has served the Northwest Indiana/Chicago area as a major commercial and recreational transportation link for 90 years.  In 1925, the railroad was purchased by Samuel Insull's Midland Utilities. Insull launched an aggressive marketing campaign, including a set of colorful, artistic posters designed by some of Chicago's most talented artists.  The posters highlighted recreation in the Indian Dunes, local flora and fauna, and the strength of heavy industry.  This book tells the story of that campaign, reproducing more than 40 known surviving posters and other advertising items from the 1920s to the 1970s, as well as art commissioned more recently by the Northwest Indiana Forum.  Four essays are included that describe Insull's purchase of the South Shore Line and its rebirth, the intensive involvement of the railroad and its advertising campaign in the economic development of the region, a personal memoir from one of the poster artists, and how a group of railroad enthusiasts saved the South Shore Line when it was threatened with extinction in the 1970s.]]></description>

      <title>RAILROAD ACCIDENT REPORT HEAD-ON COLLISION OF CHICAGO, SOUTH SHORE AND SOUTH BEND RAILROAD TRAIN NOS. 123 AND 218, GARY, INDIANA, JANUARY 21, 1985</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/269298</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Dispatcher failure to coordinate the movements of two Chicago, South Shore and South Bend passenger trains during temporary single-track operation resulted in their collision on January 21, 1985.  There was no provision in temporary operating instructions for meeting of two opposing trains scheduled to depart the Gary station at the same time.  The crew of one of the trains misjudged the time its train would reach Gary.  The accident occurred west of Gary Station on the eastbound main track.  The westbound track was out of service because severe cold weather had caused a catenary failure.  Earlier the day of the accident, CSS&SB had issued temporary instructions designating the eastbound track for operation in both directions.  The dispatcher permitted Train 218 to occupy the track and make its Gary stop without knowing the location of Train 123, although he did know it was late but failed to radio to determine its location. NTSB noted that the general notice did not provide information on dealing with the scheduled departure of two trains leaving the same station at the same time on the same track in opposite directions.  NTSB recommendations: (1) CSS&SB improve training and testing of employees; (2) install a tape monitoring system for dispatcher communications; (3) establish a rule requiring a 3-minute delay for all operations involving single-track operation at locations where times of opposing trains are in conflict; (4) establish a reliable reporting system for trains entering CSS&SB and a rule requiring recording train passing times so dispatchers can know where trains are; (5) establish a rule requiring train crews to call dispatchers before entering temporary single-track segments; (6) issue to operating personnel written instructions concerning the action required when a train encounters a stop-and-proceed signal aspect on track where no propulsion power is available.]]></description>

      <title>BY INTERURBAN TO THE AIRPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/378282</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The South Shore Line, Insull's "last interurban," has survived many crises during its eighty years.  With an improved financial situation and a virtually new fleet, the electric line prepares for the next century by forging an alliance with air travel. Interurban trains from Hammond, East Chicago, Gary, Michigan City, and New Carlisle will deposit their passengers at Michiana Regional Airport in South Bend.  The route will follow a mostly unused street alignment, avoiding busy intersections.   In addition to rerouting trains, a new shuttle service has been proposed from Dune Park to Michiana Regional, which may establish the airport as a viable alternative to O'Hare, while ensuring the continued existence and usefulness of the rail system.]]></description>
