Al, Phil is the one looking, and I directed him to your site. As to having one of your CD's, well, I have that one and 6 others, so I am a happy camper!

BTW, another choice is the 1922 Car Builders Cyclopedia on CD:
http://www.raildriver.com/cyclsoft.php?PHPSESSID=3f89c336579b46610992282b83d277a4

And, for completeness, here are the others I mentioned:
White's Freight Car Book:

And Trainshed Cyclopedia's for the era:
http://www.railroadtreasures.com/

Another source is to review the books here:
http://www.ironhorse129.com/rollingstock/builders/bibliog-bldrs.htm
which will provide you with some nice ideas in terms of possible references.
You can also browse here:
http://www.ironhorse129.com/rollingstock/builders/
To see some examples.

Also go to:
http://www.westerfield.biz/
to see more examples, but more importantly, to review items 3 & 4 (for the era).

(note that Al's comment regarding the 1919 Equipment register is found by going to that last site and selecting option 4 and looking for the 1919 edition).

Bob - The best way is to get yourself a 1919 Equipment Register. It contains listings of all freight cars used in interchange in the US, Canada and Mexico. And I just happen to sell one! - Al Westerfield
