Does anyone know of or have access to a drawing or photo of a Pullman in the Beech series, plan #4157. The car was a 12-2-1-1. May have been assigned to the NYC.

Contact IRM--they have the Pullman drawings on loan from Bombardier. Be sure to supply the Pullman plan and lot number(s) for the car(s) in question.

I contacted Jack off-net and he was able to get a resolution. For other folks out there with similar questions, for specifications and drawings on Pullman passenger equipment, trolley cars, etc. the collection at IRM consists of detailed information from about 1910 to early 50's on original orders for Pullman Car Works, Chicago and Osgood Bradley, Worcester MA. We have earlier information as well which is currently being collated for the wood Pullman cars though much can now be located. For more information contact:
Pullman Library
Illinois Railway Museum
P. O. Box 427
Union, IL 60180
There are a number of other organizations around the country with Pullman information, including original 8x10 negatives at California State Railroad Museum Library and the Smithsonian Transportation Collection (we have a number of the lightweight series photos at IRM). Newberry Library in Chicago has a great deal of documentation on Illinois Railroading including Pullman manufacturing records.
Good luck in your searches! Ted Anderson, IRM volunteer
