Re: [CBQ] Looking for Bi-Level Interior Details

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

There are partial drawings of them in the Passenger Car Library book.

There are full interior drawings in the book Burlington Route Passenger Car Diagrams from the same publisher (Railway Production Classics - Godfrey IL). These appear to be from a CB&Q diagram book.

They have drawings for three variations:

Cars 700-724, 732-739 and 745-749 with a lower capacity of 86 passengers and upper level capacity of 52 passengers.

Cars 725-731, 740-744, 750-759 and 760-787 with a lower capacity of 94 passengers and upper level capacity of 51 passengers for cars 750-787. There is a obscured number for the number of upper level passengers for cars 725-731 and 740-744.

Cab Control Cars 790-795 show a lower level capacity of 94 passengers and a upper level capacity of 45 passengers.

I can’t locate my copy right now and am trying to recall the author(s) name(s).  They should have a floor plan in there.  Not sure if the book is still in print, a lot of the volumes on the PS cars are out of print.
