I sent the question to Bill Glick and his response was:
The most info I have seen is in Ralph Bargers "A Century of Pullman Cars" Vol
II, it references cars built in Aurora in the 1860s. Some for the CB&Q. It is
really hard to find both exterior photos or drawings and floor plans to match.
But this is the best source I have found.
Both available on www.Amazon.com
