The Official Guide has listings ahead of the timetables for each RR showing the eqipment for each train. These will generally show the type of accomodations for Pullmans, lounge cars and diners. The only down side to using these is that they generally just list "coaches" w/o specifying how many and there's no mention of head end cars.
On the PRR pages some trains list cars off of CNW train so and so from San Francisco for even numbered days and car of of CB&Q from San Francisco on odd numbered days. It's really a facinating volume for psgr train freaks (of which I am decidedly one) and they're available for various years from dealers specializing in timetables and such. Of course, the farther back you go the higher to price tends to be but somebody brought out a reprint of the August 1945issue a while back they might still be available. Check the adds in TRAINS.
Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
