For Students of Railroading - A brief history.
Introduced in 1906, just before Henry Ford made famous the
model “T” automobile, these cars were the defining characteristics
of steam passenger trains for the Union Pacific, the Illinois
Central, the Southern Pacific and other associated railroads.
For the traveling public, this was a step up for people riding
in wooden coaches that would break like a match stick in
the event of a derailment. So durable were these all steel
cars that some they lasted until 1968. A life span of 60
years!
The great Edward Henry Harriman who controlled the Chicago & Alton
Railroad, the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific, the Illinois
Central, the Central of Georgia, the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, Wells Fargo Express Company, directed the development
of the “Common Standard Specifications” among the Associated
Lines. The Common Standard allowed common specifications
of parts, car and locomotive design to be shared with all
Harriman-controlled railroads. This allowed economical bid
prices due to the sheer size of standardized orders. Further,
it allowed the Harriman-controlled railroads to standardize
on part inventories and method for car repair. These cars
were designed with the all distinctive arched roof and diamond
underframe crossbearers, a departure from the clerestory
roof design.
Developed by the Associated Lines for all Harriman controlled
roads, these wide window coaches seated 68 passengers on
Hale and Kilburn reversible seats. These C-4 and C-4 (Common
Standard Specifications CS 217) were built by Pullman 1909
to 1912 and numbered 395 cars.
Initial purchasers of these cars were the Illinois Central,
the Oregon Railway & Navigation, the Oregon- Washington
Railroad & Navigation (UP), the Oregon Short Line (UP),
SP Pacific Lines (SP, CP, O&C) and Texas and Louisiana
Lines (T&NO, GH&SA, H&TC, HE&WT). The most
famous “second hand” purchasers was the 20th Century Fox
used in Hollywood movies. Later, it became Sierra Railroad
No. 11. These cars were introduced in 1909 and some lasted
more than 60 years later.
All-Day Lunch Cars
SP Sacramento General Shops added lunch kitchen cabinet
to 25 60-C-3 and 4 cars; and 6 60-CC-1 cars starting in 1916
through 1927. They provided lunch service to patrons on day
coaches and tourist sleepers. Typically, these cars were
placed near the head end of the trains, followed by day coaches
and tourist sleepers. Regular dining cars were placed between
the tourist sleepers and Pullmans. On long trains, two All-Day
Lunch cars were used. The lunch kitchen cabinet was located
on one end of the car which included a gas stove, steam plate,
2’-9” x 3’ refrigerator, coffee urns, sink, and serving counter.
Only two cars were modified with air conditioning. Some cars
were equipped with Waukesha propane system for power and
others simply had their original gas tank for power. Some
cars had a pillow locker installed on one corner blocking
out the corner vestibule-trap door.

- Road #: MW 833
|
Some
quick notes:
During the late 1950's and early 1960's, Espee converted a number of their heavyweight passenger cars for Maintenance of Way services, since the reduction in passenger train service in conjunction with the newer lightweight equipment made these standard cars obsolete. MW 833 is one such car that was downgraded yet still was in a good state of repair. This car was assigned to "S.P. Line Gang #2 Communication Dept."

Part
#: WoT-187 - Union Pacific Harriman Coach, Drovers Service -Dark Olive
|
Click photo to see large view
|
- Number of pieces: 1
- Road #: 663
|
Some
quick notes:
Coaches used in drover transported workers who move their livestock by train. They rode with their train carrying livestock between the ranch and the processing plant (slaughter house). Union Pacific ran "fast" special livestock trains with drovers coah to Los Angeles over their LA&SL line. The workers took care of their animals during rest stops. With improvements to train and signaling technology, UP (c. 1947) was able to reduce their Salt Lake to LA trip from 32 to 27 hours. This eliminated the mandatory Federal requirment for rest and watering the animals every 28 hours. In the 1950's, UP just took 5 days from Omaha to LA. stock cars were loaded from Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho and were then assembled into "Stock Specials" (later "Day Live Stock") behind EMD F-3s, ALCo FA's or SD-24's. This Harriman coach entered Drovers service in March 1957. It was a former UP Oregon Short Line car built by Pullman 1910, Lot 3737, Common Standard Specifications 217, class 60-C-1.

Some
quick notes:
Burlington Northern Railroad inherited GN Maintenance of Way baggage cars such as this one. This car was renumbered in 1976 as BN 976140 (nee X73841966 in 1966). Prior to being in MW service, it was no. 378. Originally built by Barney and Smith in 1909 as #1679. Converted to stell-sheathed car in 1926. It was sold to Luria Brothers in 1981 for scrap. It served GN-BN for 72 years. While our model here is a good representation of BN 976140, it is not the exact prototype.

Stock Checks:
Inventory is a fluid commodity. It changes by the
hour (sometimes by the minute). To retain our pricing structure
we maintain stock levels designed to turnover 6 times each
year. We cannot guarantee stock status till we have an order
in hand. All product is subject to prior sale. If we confirm
that we have it, and, while we are waiting for the order
it sells, you would be upset that we did not hold it.
We used to hold items but learned a VERY EXPENSIVE lesson.
When we held items for customers’ orders, the order
never materialized 80%+ of the time. We lost out on
the orders placed while the item was on hold. Also
we wasted staff time that could have been used to pull actual
orders.
Since we are well known for finding older stock the fact
that it may not be on our shelves at this minute does not
mean we can’t get it. So, as we spell out on our terms
pages, we don’t do it anymore. You may, however, call in and we will tell you if the items
are available and if possible attempt to locate what we
don’t have while you are on the phone. |
