Pullman Electric Car Order List

Among the things that are always helpful in figuring out the histories of preserved electric cars are manufacturer order lists. Order lists for many of the major electric car manufacturers are here. And now, thanks to Bob Webber of the Pullman Library at the Illinois Railway Museum, we can add another. Bob has assembled a list of streetcar and interurban car orders placed with Pullman, located here:


This list is in a Google Sheets spreadsheet and should be easily searchable. It's drawn from the Pullman electric car order book, which the company kept separate from its steam railroad orders, at least in the early years. For the most part it doesn't include mainline electrics, and does include subway cars, though this isn't 100% consistent.

Looking for information on a specific Pullman order? Contact IRM's Pullman Library to inquire about ordering plans, drawings, photographs, or other documents that may be available.
