March 22, 2018 – A South Shore Line Commuter train heads out of the Portage/Ogden Dunes station at Portage, Indiana on it’s way east. The South Shore Line (reporting mark NICD) is an electrically powered interurban commuter rail line operated by the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) between Millennium Station in downtown Chicago and the South Bend International Airport in South Bend, Indiana, United States.
The name refers to both the physical line and the service operated over that route. The line was built in 1901–08 by predecessors of the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad, which continues to operate freight service. Passenger operation was assumed by the NICTD in 1989. – #jimstrainphotos #indianarailroads #trains #fujixt1 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #southshoreline #commutertrains
