Nostalgia & History > IC Passenger Train Consists

Hello All:

Can anyone post (or give me a webpage that would show) IC passenger consists in the mid 1950's...City of New Orleans, Panama Limited, Seminole, Land 'O Corn, etc.

Thanks,

Genevasub

Your best bet (and a great book on IC passenger cars by the way), would be to locate a used copy of "Monarchs of Mid-America". Its long out of print, but you might be able to find a copy on eBay. It has a section showing early 1950's consists of all IC passenger trains, including typically assigned car number series and sleeper configuration types. Main part of the book is comprised of passenger car diagrams of the whole IC fleet.

Don't know if this link will work or not, but there are a couple of used copies of "Monarchs of Mid-America" currently found on Amazon.com.
