South Shore Saturday. Union Station in Gary, Indiana, a 111 year old Beaux-Arts Style building, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. It is in between and served the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) the New York Central operated Lake South Shore & Michigan Southern line. It served the newly founded city of Gary, which was rising up near the US Steel Works. There has not been passenger service to this station in may years. Freight is operated by Anacostia Rail Holdings in cooperation with the South Shore passenger operator, the South Shore Line. Seen on Saturday, Decemeber 26, 2020, CSS 2005, 2009, and 2002 are all GP38-2s built in 1981 and have spent their whole career working here. The units have been painted in South Shore's orange, a throwback to the heyday of the area's Insull Interurbans.
