The book "Passenger Car Diagrams" is not what was asked about "Passenger Car
Diagrams" is a collection of folio sheets.
The book "The Passenger Car Library Volume 1 - CB&Q" by the same company
covers only the Budd cars. It has drawings and some photos. Most have interior
layouts. I have heard there are some discrepancies with some of the drawings
but cannot verify this. I do not know if it is still available.
