ex NKP & Wabash passenger cars

[NW Mailing List]

NKP had 10 post-war coaches numbered 100-109. The first 4 were sold to 
Atlantic Coast Line. The others re-numbered to 1704-9. By 1965 NKP 
CHI-BUF trains were gone and those cars went to the ex-Wabash lines.

Some of the 13 sleepers got re-painted to N&W within 11 months of the 
merger. Before they were sold off. Four went to CN, some to ATK and 
others on short term leases or to private car owners.
