[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSSHEGEWISCH</i> <br /><br />I remember the "Little Train that Could" decals quite well. All of the passenger cars plus the 800's had them. I don't think that any of the 700's or the diesels (600's and 1500's) had them. <br /> <br />Growing up about 150 yards from where South Shore crossed over the CWI and NKP leaves me with lots of childhood memories of the South Shore, including steeple cabs on work trains, the Fast Emergency Package Service cars on the 10:00 AM departure from Randolph Street (about 10:30 in Hegewisch) and waiting at 115th Street for the 3:21 train to take me home after high school let out for the day. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Paul, <br />I know just where you were. Do you remember the platform on the bridge for the "Ford City" stop? <br /> <br />In the mid-sixties, when I was in Boy Scouts, our troop would hike, in March, from 113th and Torrance to 159th Street and have a lunch at Green Lake Forrest Preserve. <br /> <br />Mitch
