Short Line Buggy
Title:  Short Line Buggy
Description:  Chicago Short Line, a local road that worked on the far south side of Chicago. I was riding the Broadway into Chicago, looking out the Dutch door(trains used to have Dutch doors in the vestuibules, which were a great place to ride. Ask your dad. Or your grandfather) when we caught up to this CSL train near Colehour Yard in far southeastern Chicago. Like most trains of that era, it had a caboose. Check out the Reading hopper just ahead of it. Those cars would not last much longer on Conrail, through their 100 ton cousins would go on to have lengthy careers.
