Need car number...

[NW Mailing List]

The WAB/NKP/DT&I Color Guide from Morning Sun has pictures of  3 WAB cars (1237, 1240, and 1241) as part of series 1232-1241.  The photo caption  states it was unlikely that these cars were repainted with N&W markings, but indicates potential N&W numbers as in the 1800-1838 series .  

The March 1965 Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment Shows N&W 1800 series cars with the same length and seating capacity (some 58 and some 68) as the Wabash numbers that are also listed.  The N&W listing shows "No. of Cars" to be zero.  From this information you could assume that WAB 1238 was to become N&W 1807.

  The information available to me suggests this car was not on the N&W roster. Several of these cars were given a N&W number, but not repainted.  The renumbering was probably on "paper only" as most of these cars that did make to N&W were disposed of quickly.

  Does anyone know the number this car carried as N&W?  I am trying to get it listed properly in the Passenger Car Photo Index but can't find anything about it except that it was WAB 1231.
