Missouri Pacific Pre-Streamliner Passenger Car Diagrams
This CD contains passenger car diagrams, in PDF format, from Missouri Pacific, Gulf Coast Lines and International-Great Northern with emphasis on the period between 1900 and 1945. The coverage is not complete – if you have a diagram covering additional equipment, please consider sharing a digital copy with MPHS.
Diagrams are divided into two separate PDF files, truss rod cars (which were primarily wood) and steel underframe cars. Within each group, cars are listed in numerical order. In many cases, the diagrams cover a series of cars, but only the initial car of the series is indicated on the file name.
Separate documents list every diagram contained in each of the PDF files. In cases where the prior or subsequent number is shown on the diagram, that is included in the file name.
A roster file provides sample passenger car rosters for various years 1908-1953.
