Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend 73 update

Many thanks to Bob Harris of RAIL Foundation who has forwarded along some update photos showing recent progress on Chicago Lake Shore & South Bend 73. This historic wooden interurban is the only surviving car from the CLS&SB, the predecessor to the Chicago South Shore & South Bend, and was rescued in "chicken coop" condition in the early 1990s. Bob and master woodworker Glenn Guerra have been rebuilding the car and, after a hiatus, work has recently resumed. It will truly be a spectacular car when it's complete.
