References or other data

• The PULLMAN LIBRARY at Illinois Railway Museum file "All drawings.pdf" (or "All_Drawings.xls") indicates these drawings exist.
  This data was extracted Jan, 2021. More drawings for these cars may have been scanned since then (and/or I may have missed some in the file), so I do NOT guarantee this is a complete list.
  I have not seen these drawings, and am ASSUMING they are for these cars:
