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. It also includes subsidary road listing in 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 in these two volumes

plus many speciality cars such as Air Brake Instruction,

Clearance, and Express 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 System and subsidiary lines some was built by

them in their own shops using their own designs and copies of proven designs.

This book has 132 pages with 256 folios & tables.
