Enjoy, Marty Bernard  Date: 02/07/16 12:38 Re: South Shore Loading in South Bend Author: GPutz Great! I boarded a train there in August 1968. I didn't have a camera then. Gerry

The Ford Ranchero and even the mailbox are also classics; so much to look at here! Andy Date: 02/08/16 01:07 Re: South Shore Loading in South Bend Author: Seventyfive What a great photo! So much history in one scene. In addition to things already mentioned,
that DX gas station sign in the distance caught my eye; haven't seen that brand in ages. Even the old style traffic signals are classic. Any idea what that huge building way in the back is, behind the DX sign? Thanks for showing this real gem. Rich Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 02/10/16 23:57 by Seventyfive.

I love those signs on the right side.

It would be nice to see street running in SB again.
