Its HUGE!!! I am pleased to announce that I have updated the Passenger Car Photo Index, adding over 10,672 new links and nearly 40 new pages to the site, setting a new record for the number of links added during a given Update. As has been true of the past there may be some glitches but if you encounter any do please let me know. I will do my best to get the problems fixed as quickly as possible.

Jerry - Thanks for the link and for all your hard work. What a resource!

WOW, this is quite a repository. Thanks for this thread.
Jerry - as others have said - Wow, quite a resource. I haven't dug into all of what you have here, but your section on Motor Cars intrigued me - having ridden one (solo, as kid in the mid-late 1950's) of the UP versions from Grand Island, NE, to the small town in northeast KS, where my grandmother lived. I had not been able to find a picture of what I recall that coach (or coaches) looked like until I perused your collection.
I think I found one or more examples - I don't recall all of the distinguishing features to be able to nail down the exact version(s). Unfortunately, it was not one of the really cool-looking McKeen versions - especially the Art Deco inspired rounded body shapes, round windows, etc. -- I wonder if any of those still exist in one of the rail museums?
When I have time, I'll take a look at your collection to look for the UP dome-diner that used to run on the City of Portland - again as a kid my family and I took several trips to the west coast on that train with me glued to the dome cars watching the Big Boys and Gas Turbines between Cheyenne and Ogden
Anyway, thanks for enabling the memories - a lot of fun.
Thank you for taking the time to put this resource together!

I agree, very many photos of many different railroads.

Three McKeens? Is that brewery one in Minden, Nevada, or Minden, Nebraska? The
well known "Pioneer Village", which I have visited, with a huge vintage car collection,
is south of Kearney, just off I-80 in Minden....can't find one in Nevada on the map. (did not see a Mckeen in Minden, Neb., but was not looking for one.
No D&RGW standard gauge cars?
