RIGHT: Acquired in 1949 and rebuilt by South Shore for operation on the line’s 1,500 volt d.c. system, the General Electric “Little Joe” electric locomotives served the South Shore Line until they were retired in 1981. South Shore 802 has her train rolling on the main at the west end of Burnham Yard. She is about to cross Burnham Avenue on her way to Kensing- ton in October 1976. BELOW: The old South Shore station at 11th Street in Michigan City, Indiana, is still open, and the classic neon sign is lit on the night of May 14, 1976, as an east- bound train boards passengers bound for South Bend.
