I picked up an MP employee magazine from Dec. 1956 off eBay. It does have a nice holiday cover, but the main item it has is an article about Sedalia shops building container chassis for the MP containers, which were also built by Sedalia. Another piece of the history of these containers that was news to me.

Here is the two-page article from the Missouri Pacific magazine, December 1956. Quite a few details about the container roster, besides the chassis.

I’m re-posting these files in a more manageable size.
