Chicago Commuters |
The South Shore is often
billed as the longest running Interurban line in the country. It is
definitely the last remaining Chicago interurban from the Insull era. It
runs out of the Randolph terminal shared with the METRA Electric. It
share right-of-way with METRA until Kensington. There it break away to
run into northern Indiana on its way to Gary, Michigan City and ending
at the Airport in South Bend Indiana. The webmaster still has not rode
this famous line.
