Back on rails for a few days

I have great memories of the South Shore, but, would you believe?  I've never ridden on the "new" stainless steel cars.  (Not so new anymore;  i understand that they are now about 30 years old.)  Part of my memories include electric freight operation, with both the Little Joe's (on the SS they were always just called:  "800 class") the NYC converted box cabs and even the end of the Westinghouse Baldwin electrics. 

Sure wish that the North shore was still operating!

While at boot camp, I rode the North Shore November 18, 1962 to Milwaukee.  I loved it.
