This book contains the GENERAL INDEX which has the "owning" Road
within the System, the primary construction material of the car,
remarks such as what type air conditioning system or power the car
may be equipped with, and then the description. It tells about the
general classes of varnish but does not get into specific car number
info and fills the first 10 pages or so. After that is the passenger car
index which gives specific information by car number including any
renumbering, dimensions, lot number, year built and builder name,
weight, draft gear, type of brake, door style and truck capacity.
As could be expected, the Central had a large number of
business cars which are represented here plus many
speciality cars such as Clearance, Air Brake Instruction,
and also Express type refrigerator cars.
The drawings are essentially blueprints that a skilled employee could recognize, repair, and service equipment that was in service. While much of the equipment
in here was built for the NYC and subsidiary lines some was built by them
in their own shops using their own designs and copies of proven designs.
This book has 128 pages with 493 folios & tables.
Below are some sample pages from the book.
