CSS 310 - Chicago South Shore and South Bend  Contributor's Pick!       
Just ahead of CSS 310 is a set of catenary tension supports (gray posts) with large gray weights that maintain the overhead wire tension. Weights are added or removed depending on the seasons and average temperatures so the catenary wire is always at the correct tension and height for fast running.
