	South Shore
		A 1939 description of South Shore stating that it was “predominately middle class—upper middle class, to be sure, but not social register,” offers an apt though antiquated characterization of this South Side community.
		The area, bounded by 67th and 79th Streets to the north and south and by Stony Island Avenue and Lake Michigan to the east and west, was mostly swampland in the 1850s when Ferdinand Rohn, a German truck farmer, utilized trails along the area's high ground to transport his goods to Chicago.
		Before the community came to be known as South Shore in the 1920s, it was a collection of settlements in southern Hyde Park Township.

		The Commission proposed that they and the South Shore join in joint construction of their two routes utilizing the right-of-way already acquired by the railroad, an arrangement that was to prove mutually advantageous.
		Also, because the South Shore was independent it was unable to guarantee a large car supply to Bethlehem Steel who in turn refused to grant the line access to its Burns Harbor plant so long as it remained an independent road.
		The primary reason for the South Shore’s affiliation with a larger carrier was to increase its competitive position for freight traffic in the face of continuing mergers in the East, and to assure a supply of cars that would permit the line to effectively serve the new Bethlehem Steel plant.

		Today the Chicago SouthShore and South Bend Railroad is a short line freight carrier, with headquarters located in Michigan City. Passenger service over the line is provided by the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) and is not affiliated with the Chicago SouthShore.
		Passenger service between Gary and Chicago is now a suburban commuter railroad. In Michigan City, trains still run down the middle of 10th and 11th Streets, and passengers still board electric interurban trains streetcar-style, the only place in the United States where this is still done.
		The eastern section of the line running from Michigan City to South Bend still has much of the flavor of the old rural Midwestern interurbans: a single-track line through meadows and cornfields.
