SOUTH SHORE LINE MOTOR CAR

Most South Shore Line cars were acquired in 1982 and 1983, when the line was still operated by the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad.


SOUTH SHORE LINE TRAILER CAR

The 1992 order of cars included 10 trailers, which have no cabs but have pantographs for auxiliary power. Because the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad ceased as the operator of the line, these latest cars do not have sign boards above the windows.

NICTD rehabilitated its older cars, including #40, shown in a newer paint scheme with a narrower orange stripe.
