This undated floor plan line drawing
of former Nevada Northern private car 2nd #100 was evidently
produced sometime after it was redesignated as No. 97 between
January 1951 and January 1954, from its previous No. 3 specification.
There are some changes to the original
plan, most probably accomplished at the same time that the "Ice System"
air conditioning was applied in July 1938. Additionally, many elements
relating to the trucks, draft gear and couplers have been replaced.
"Pocono" likely refers
to the DL&W business car of that name. "MCC&T Co". is projected
as the acronym for McConway & Torley Co. of Pittsburgh, the manufacturer
and patent-holder of the first automatic (Janney) coupler. They remain
a leading manufacturer of couplers and car-connecting systems to this
day.
