The South Shore of today is comprised of 2 entities. Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District owns and operates the passenger service and infrastructure, and dispatches all trains. The Chicago SouthShore and South Bend Railroad, owned by Anacostia and Pacific, opeates the freight service in a trackage rights agreement with The District. There are passenger employees payed by the district, and freight employees payed by South Shore Freight, the nickname of the freight line. South Shore Freight also owns the ex NKP/NS line from Michigan City down to Kingsbury south of La Porte. This evolved from the escapades of the Venango River Corporation that bought the South Shore from the C&O in 1984. Through quetionable management, and the unwise purchase of the old GM&O line from the IC, not including the property from Joliet to Chicago, things went bad for the company. In 1990 the Venago ownership was dissolved with the company being sold to A&P. A&P then agreed to do the split with the Commuter District as outlined above. Things look good for both operations right now. Mitch
