Outbound at Beverly Shores
This train is seen, going away, at the wonderful Beverly Shores station on the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend Railroad, in northern Indiana. The interurban cars were built in 1926 by Pullman and lengthened during, or immediately after, World War II.
The station, built in 1929, is of the Spanish Mission style; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The building is topped with a fabulous neon fixture, which has been kept up in fine working condition to this day.
The line will soon be double tracked through this area—between Gary and Michigan City, Indiana, ending the street running in the latter.
