Title: Passenger cars
Post by: David Longest on December 20, 2023, 12:48:31 pm

Most are well aware of how the Monon was able to secure war cars and the Lafayette shops converted these to increase our passenger stock.  My questions are more in an historic vein.  Did the Monon ever purchase passenger equipment from Pullman and if so, how often, what years and so forth.    Also, what Monon books have good representation of the passenger fleet?

Monon the Hoosier Line, by Dozall, has a nice listing, and lists Pullman acquisitions, some as recent as 1923.  If anyone has photos of these.  Please post. Some sleepers acquired in 1949.
