>From the Railroad Digest January 1901  

"On November 5, 1900, CB&QRR placed and order with the Pullman Company for 
three new mail cars, and they were delivered to the railway on the morning of 
Nov. 17.  As Nov. 6 was election day, no work was done on the cars, except a 
few hours work by laborers moving material.  That leaves 10 days in which the 
cars were built.  

 

Monday, 5th, the draughtsmen completed plans and dimensions sufficient to 
enable the shop to start at the sills and framing.  Mail racks and fittings 
were ordered by express.  Friday night, at 8 p.m., the bodies were completed 
and a coat of primer was put on in the night.  Saturday the bodies were all 
allowed to dry, and Sunday they were puttied.  Monday saw a coat of rough stuff 
go on, and Tuesday saw a second; Wednesday, rubbed down; Thursday, two coats of 
colour were applied, and the gold leaf lettering and striping done.  On Friday 
the cars were varnished and delivered on Saturday morning, Nov. 17.  Of course 
the color was made thin and to dry rapidly.  

 

No mention is made of the days in which the mail racks and interior fittings 
were put in and the heating, gas and air-brake piping applied, but it states 
that no work was done after 8 p.m.  Two delays, owing to alterations by the 
railway company, added to the speed with which the work was done."



Could today's manufacturing process match this?  



I believe that the cars were numbered B&MR 130-132 and later became CB&Q 2203, 
2206 and 2207.
