1. The CSS&SB routing through Michigan City. 2. The door arrangement on the single-level air-conditioned post-WWII Rock Island commuter cars. 3. That double-stacks pass under the CSSS&SB catenary at Kinsington Junction in Chicago. 4. That the 4-wheel trucks on the GG-1's were never powered, the experiment was only tried on the P-5 4-6-4's. 5. The difference between Walschearts and Baker valve gear.
