Bill,
The “History of Lines” ledgers are located at the Newberry Library in Chicago, along with a wealth of other Pullman information. These documents provide information about when specific lines were started, stopped or rerouted. Sometimes, but not always, the pages indicate the type of Pullman car assigned, and only rarely was the actual car name indicated. The specific car assignments could be found in documents produced for each railroad 2-4 times a year by D.R. Culver, Pullman Company’s Superintendent of Transportation. Possibly the Katy Historical Society has some of these Culver documents – I do not have any.

I do have some notes on Katy “History of Lines” data (recognizing that its heresy to admit such on a MP forum, LOL.) If you have a specific question, let me know and I might be able to help.
