Order of Cars

[NW Mailing List]

I don't know the answer to that, and can't remember seeing a business car on 25 or 26. I would suppose, however, that if they did add a business car to 25 or 26, it would be the first car in the train, rather than put it behind the round end observation car. After the boat tails were retired, I would see no problem in adding a business car to the rear end.

    As a general rule, the mail and baggage and express cars were first, followed (in order) by coaches, tavern lounge (if there was one), dining car, and sleepers. The Powhatan Arrow was an exception. In the early years (before the 1949 equipment) it was coaches, tavern lounge, diner and more coaches. When the new equipment arrived in late 1949, it was basically the same, except the tavern lounge was the last car (since it was an observation. Soon, however the standard consist became three coaches, diner and tavern lounge observation. Later, the Arrow began to carry some head end cars, then a combination baggage-coach, two coaches, and a diner lounge. The observation car was dropped from the consist. Jim:
Were business cars barred on Nos. 25/26 ?                                               Harry Bundy ________________________________________
