In 1904, the company then changed its name to the Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend. Samuel Insull bought the line in 1925 and reorganized it under the CSS\u0026amp;SB name. Insull embarked on an aggressive modernization plan that involved changing the electrification to 1500 V DC, the purchase of modern steel cars and the operation of part of the line over the Illinois Central’s newly electrified suburban line. Insull lost control when the line went bankrupt in 1932. The line primarily provided commuter services between Chicago and South Bend, Indiana (over 76 miles of track).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe company operated 10 locomotives and 50 passenger cars. General freight was also hauled on a limited basis by the company’s 27 freight cars. This line became part of the famous Chessie System, when it was purchased by the Chesapeake and Ohio in 1967 and eventually consolidated into the Chessie along with the Baltimore \u0026amp; Ohio and the Western Maryland. It continued to operate under the Chicago, South Shore and South Bend name, under the Chessie umbrella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/chicago-south-shore-and-south-bend-railway\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconCSSSBRR.png?v=1671025380\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconRailroad.png?v=1664138815\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/illinois-railroads\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconIllinoisRailroads.png?v=1664745771\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/indiana-railroads\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconIndianaRailroads.png?v=1664709522\" width=\"121\" height=\"114\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/illinois-central-railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconIllinoisCentralRR.png?v=1664998180\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/chesapeake-and-ohio-railway\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconCORR.png?v=1666645592\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/baltimore-and-ohio-railroad\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconBORR.png?v=1664731583\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/western-maryland-railway\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconWesternMarylandRwy.png?v=1666644842\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/insull-companies\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconInsullEmpire.png?v=1672764113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/chicago-illinois\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconChicagoIllinois.png?v=1664748131\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/illinois\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"113\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconIllinois.png?v=1664745838\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/south-bend-indiana\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconSouthBendIndiana.png?v=1671971747\" width=\"120\" height=\"113\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/collections\/indiana\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/CollectionIconIndiana.png?v=1664714585\" width=\"121\" height=\"114\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ghosts of Wall Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67980774572280,"sku":"740b","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0055\/6253\/1904\/files\/740b.png?v=1793906333","url":"https:\/\/ghostsofwallstreet.com\/products\/chicago-south-shore-and-south-bend-railroad-signed-by-samuel-insull-jr-1","provider":"Ghosts of Wall Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
