| Post subject: | IRM Pullman Library Update |
With orders down the past two months, we have been working on a little-known portion of the collection, P-S freight cars. Here is a summary of what is slowly becoming available, with many gaps.We have drawings for Haskell Barker of Michigan City in a few cases dating back to 1896. When they became part of Pullman Standard in 1930, their drawing series was gradually worked in with Pullman Car Works (Calumet). We have the drawing journal from that era toward about 1950 or so and can locate a car by lot number to see if we have the drawings. Since the drawings are not easily available, expect a delay as we search. There is much more happening as we organize material, but this is probably the easiest to find. We are working also on other resources in the library: wood passenger car drawings (1880-1910), Standard Steel Car, and Osgood Bradley. It all takes time! The library is not open to the public. Inquiries are by mail only.Please include a phone number, e-mail if available, and return address.Sincerely, Ted Anderson, curator |
