Hi,

Anyone know if it is possible to trace passenger car numbers of the PM? Such as maker, when put in and taken out of service, etc? Any books, publications etc?

I am interested in cars 7783 and 7771 in particular.

The definitive book is Pere Marquette Passenger Car Pictorial by Arthur Million published by the Pere Marquette HS. I don’t see those numbers. Most had three digit numbers. Otherwise the highest I see is 1209, a heavyweight coach pre C&O.

Thanks.

Were all of the passenger cars PM used Pullman made cars?
