Fred,
All this is probably in ABBEY TO ZORRA but seeing it all in one place
provides my first clear picture of how it all goes together...and it's
a lot easier to see how photos of particular cars in Boston service
fit into the overall pattern.
Thanx!

Subject: [cpsig] Compressed CPR Passenger car type and discripition 1939-1987
inclusive
Hi List,
The following list of CPR car numbers and named classes should help
you verify car types and descriptions for same. This is a
compressed list of the CPR ORER passenger equipment records and my
own records. I did this for another list to help a the fellows figure
out the different types of cars.
There is some overlap with some car classes but it should be farely
straight forward. If there are any errors there only mine.
Hope you enjoy this.

Well I think that about covers it. I've compressed
everything from Jan. 1939 to 1987 inclusive. Some of the Buffet-
Parlor cars are a little hard to follow. So I broke it down more so
you could see what the CPR was doing with its pasenger car fleet.

Fred Shannon
