Nostalgia & History > BB: DSS&A RS1's w/freight 1956Date: 01/21/17 10:51 BB: DSS&A RS1's w/freight 1956 Author: valmont Date: 01/21/17 10:55 Re: BB: DSS&A RS1's w/freight 1956 Author: mcfflyer Now we're talking!
Thanks for sharing this gem! Lee Hower - Sacramento Date: 01/21/17 11:30 Re: BB: DSS&A RS1's w/freight 1956 Author: CPR_4000 Very nice. I wonder what that big cooling coil ahead of the cab on the lead unit is about?

Lake Superior and Ishpeming trackage in foreground. Consist of train would indicate it is time freight No 22, but the RS1's (plus white flags) would tend to indicate it is an Extra East. Trains 21 and 22, plus RDC #500 "the Shoreliner" on trains 1 and 2 (Ishpeming -St.Ignace round trip 6 days a week) were the only regular trains on this section of the South Shore at that time. Any more DSS&A color photos would make my year!!

I'm asking because because the engine in the video dies not have MU Connections, the cooling coil and the bell is just ahead of the battery box. Date: 01/22/17 05:21 Re: 101 LIVES!!!! Author: bandob What a fantastic post! Takes me back to my boyhood days going on vacation to Negaunee and Ishpeming! Thank you ever so much.
