I am trying to figure out how to reduce a typical passenger car train from western railroads (about 1900) into a five car train (with steamloco and tender, this fits my planned passing sidings)
The typical train was:
one or more first class cars
two or more second class cars
at least one express car
at least one baggage car
mail service
pullman sleeper service
a club car/observation car
temporary add on - a diner or cafe car
My thoughts were to use a combine express/mail, baggage, first class, second class, pullman sleeper.
This omits diner service. Any better ideas or suggestions?
