Former NYC 318 |
| Description: |
Looks like a former NYC boxcab sitting on the Chicago South Shore property in 1963 might be the next Alco-GE unit to take to the CSS roster like its 7 other sisters like #308, #314 and #340-43. No photographer listed. |

NYC 318 Was Hero, She Kept Her Sisters Going |
| Description: |
The South Shore (CSS&SB) acquired about 10 of these from the NYC. They weue Alco/GE 2010 hp C+Cs built in 1930-31. About seven were painted traction orange and numbered into the 700 series. About three were kept for parts to keep the others going. Tlis gal is certainly missing some parts! |

NYC R-2 318 |
| Description: |
New York Central Class R-2 318 at Michigan City, Indiana on February 16, 1964, photograph by Chuck Zeiler. Number 342 was built by Alco-GE in February 1931 for the NYC as number 1218 ( GE c/n 11169 - Alco c/n 68246 ), renumbered to 318 in August 1936, sold to the CSS&SB for parts in 1955. In 1955, ten R-2 Motors were sold to the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad to supplement their electrified freight operations. Seven units, CSS&SB ( 701-707 ) were rebuilt to use 1500 V DC overhead lines using parts left over from the conversion of the P-Motors to 660 V DC third rail. The front ends were also modified moving the cab door from the front to a more typical side access. |
