a question about car weights

[NW Mailing List]

Weren't business cars much heavier than standard passenger cars  
because of all their special equipment (such as on-board power  
supplies, etc.)?

Brent,
I have a copy of a blueprint dated 10/4/55 for Business Car no. 300  
built by Pullman Standard and it lists its weight as 198,000 lbs I  
have a few more resources in my collection to look thru nd I think I  
can pinpoint the weight a little closer....but this should give you  
an idea of their weight.

I hope this helps.

Until Later,
Shawn
