SHOP RECORDS

  Richmond would shop about 250-300 cars per year. Pullman Car Construction Records (CCRs) include the date in and date released from the shop.. After WW I I, records were also kept as to when the car arrived at the shops. Records for the cars include most work that was done to the cars, but not always the date the work was done. Not all of the data is legible. ? on my sheet show data I could not make out. Showing the complete records for the cars is beyond the scope of this site, although I will include the data if the dates are recorded. By the early 1950's most of the Missouri Pacific, Texas and Pacific and International Great Northern sleepers were being painted into the Eagle streamliner colors.

  The shopping records include:

• Name of car
• Pullman car plan number
• Car type
• Number of shop dates ( 8 of 15 is 8th time car was shopped out of 15 total shoppings )

• Class of Repair

• GR = General and Remodel repairs
• LM = Light Minor
• M = Minor
• MR = Major Rebuild
• MSB = Minor Sand Blast
• R = Regular repairs
• S = Special repairs
• SE = Special Enamel
• SV = Special Varnish

• Date car was received. (Only for cars after WW II )
• Date car into shop
• Date car out of shop
• Report number: Sequenced from all shops.
