Can anyone supply me with a roster of the original 24 cars built for the CLS&SB made by the Niles Car & Manufacturing Co.? Thanks.

IIRC the book South Shore Line Electric Locomotives & Interurban Cars, Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad: How the Medal Was Won , or Moonlight in Duneland: The Illustrated Story of the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad... may have the rosters for the CLS&SB Niles Car Company pre 1926 rosters.

if your looking to model the cars, Bowser's LVT cars are a very good close match.
