Can someone provide me with information about the NYSW current passenger cars. Looking for some pics of cars that I have not seen listedon rrpicurearchives.net. Also what kind of cars do the nysw use as officers in NJ? Are they regular box cars?

Trying to see if its possible to piece together a passenger set for nysw. Most if not all will need to be painted and detailed a lil better. But finding the E9's will bethe harder task.

I know 510 is, well was W.R's personal observation car. Thats the one im trying to model when it arrives.

going by this list i didn't know it was this extensive. What are the old metra cars under?

As far as I know, the Metra cars are all owned by the NYS&W Technical & Historical Society group.

thanks. i looked thru my nysw from shortlines to stackpacks book and it has a lot of the cars, but im not sure how many nysw still owns. it shows to observatin cars, 1 streamlined observation car and several other heavyweights. I actually emailed NYSW themselves to see if they could help me out a lil bit.
