| CSS&SB Nippon Sharyo 11 at Bendix, South Bend, Indiana on July 27, 1986, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. This is the Bendix station on the western edge of South Bend. The tracks were cut back to this point in 1970 to avoid street running. This car was built by Nippon Sharyo in 1982, the second 11 on the South Shore. It was wrecked June 18, 1998 when it collided with a tractor-trailer loaded with steel coils weighing 19 tons each, one of which broke loose upon impact and rolled through the car destroying it. It was replaced by the NICD in 2001 with 3rd number 11. The NTSB report is at this address: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/RAR9903.pdf |
