The answers are compiled in the Cars of Pacific Electric Volume 3 Combos, Locomotive & Non-Revenue Cars Special 37. Cars of Pacific Electric Volume 3 Combos, Locomotive & Non-Revenue Cars Special 37 follows the PE’s (Pacific Electric) roster plan. The numbering scheme was worked out after the Great Merger in 1911. The Great Merger was the combination of several component companies. The numbering scheme was set up according to the type of service the interurban cars rendered. That numbering scheme remained in effect throughout the existence of the Pacific Electric Railway. This volume focuses on the combo, locomotive and non-revenue cars of the PE. The book includes pictures and diagrams of PE combo cars, box motors, suburban electric locomotives, line cars, cranes, etc. Each series of numbers has an explanation of what routes it served and when it was acquired and retired. With each series are diagrams of the combo, locomotive and non-revenue cars. There are detailed drawing, photographs and schematics of the exteriors and interiors. The detailed drawings include dimensions and parts listings. Cars of Pacific Electric Volume 3 Combos, Locomotive & Non-Revenue Cars Special 37 is packed with pictures and diagrams of the combo, locomotive and non-revenue cars interiors. If you are a PE fan you will want to add this book to your collection, as well as Volume 2 Interurban & Deluxe Cars and Volume 1 Streetcars & Suburban Cars.
