The Chicago Short Line August 1981
Author: Skeezix

August of '81 was part of a six week romp around the USA.

I really got a kick out of Chicago this year...

We stayed for several weeks at my oldest brother's place in South Haven,Mi. and I had wheels.

The Chicago area was very active - many different lines including this one.

Their story is here http://casr.dhke.com/casr264.htm thanks to google

That unit still looks the same---well maybe slightly more dirty, but not by much!

CSL had a reputation for its clean, shiny locos. The last couple I saw did not look that good...perhaps the new owners are cutting back on maintenance.
