I took this photo from a coach window, aboard a Chicago, South Shore & South Bend electric passenger train enroute to Michigan City Indiana. The old steam locomotive shown here on display in a Gary city park, is the sole surviving steam locomotive from the Elgin, Joliet & Eastern Railroad. The outlying belt railroad known as the Elgin ,Joliet & Eastern Railroad, was once owned by U.S.S Steel Corporation, and was known in nickname as the Chicago, Outer Belt line. The E,J & E had dieselized early during the 1940's after World War 2 had ended. This is their only surviving steam locomotive today.Monday, June 25, 2007
