Midwest Archives Conference Records, 1972-2021

Container Title
Series: 3. Passenger Cars, 1907-1975
Scope and Content Note: These records comprise all passenger car historical documents, drawings, and photographs. Each folder is labeled with the car type (e.g. Coach, Baggage, Express, etc.) and the assigned two, three, or four digit car number. Specific “car names” are included in quotes after the car number(s) when available. Passenger car records are quite complete from the 1930s through the 1960s. These records document a car’s purpose, any modifications done to the car including renumbering and intended use (such as coach cars converted to baggage cars) and likewise include the dates on which such changes were completed.
