My aunt was a regular South Shore commuter and my mother would go visit her from time to time after she moved to Chicago. Up to 1970, South Shore trains came all the way to downtown South Bend. The station was at the corner of S. Michigan St. and LaSalle Ave. My father and I would wait for her train at an adjoining parking lot, and you'd see the headlight in the distance once the train came off the curve into LaSalle. The only time I ever rode on them was on a round trip to Chicago on April 1 and 2, 1967, two weeks before we left South Bend. They had spur-cut gears, but I don't remember hearing them moan or groan. That would come a month later on May 7 on a three-car AA train. Even by the mid-60s, those Insull-era cars were showing their age. |
