passenger trains

I was wondering if anyone out there would know the order in which the Santa Fe organized their passenger trains. I know that the baggage car would usually be behind the locomotives as well as the RPO car and combine but where would you think the sleepers , coaches , diner and vista domes go ? Is there a web site that specializes in this subject out there ? I finally completed the 11 car USA set recently and would like to know a little about how these trains operated .

I had a similar but slightly different enquiry and i have tried it on this forum a few times with less succes than you have had mate. I have several Golden Mountain; Orient express carriages and they have toilets in them and i was trying to get an idea of how they should be placed ie front or back of the carriage.

No luck with this forum, so i actually went to Europe to have a Captain Cook (look) for myself and the answer is varied but i think both front and back and adjacent to each other seems to be pretty poplualr.

Mike;

Now that you have had time to look at the charts, I’m sure you noticed that the “correct” answer to your question has more to deal with the year and specific route.
