This is a great picture. My brother turned out to be an awesome guitar player; he repairs them too. The photo must have been shot around 1959 or so. My dad kept that guitar since his teen years and now my brother owns it. It's an old Gibson LG something or other; pretty beat, but it sounds great. View full size.

East Chicago, Indiana, January, 1918. The Chicago, Lake Shore and South Bend Interurban Railroad. Volunteers and railroad employees are trying to clear snow from a crossover located near the junction where streetcars and interurbans shared track. The South Shore ran on the principal east-west street, Chicago Avenue. Along with South Bend to Chicago trains, a 3.4-mile streetcar line to the Indiana Harbor section of town was operated, primarily for shift-change steelworkers and a connection with the Gary Railways line at Michigan and Guthrie Street.

In the background, equipment can be seen hopelessly stuck on the streetcar track. It was critical to free the line, as milk and other essentials were starting to run out.
