West by Northwest

This is another undated issue of West, but it does say that the Beaver is a popular train to which SP will add more streamlined cars “this summer.” Since a previous edition informed us that the Beaver began operating in June, 1940, this one probably came out in the spring of 1941.

  1. I am surprised to see the SP apparently painted stainless steel streamlined cars in Pullman cars. I assume it was an attempt to match the color of the other heavyweight cars in the Beaver. I’ve seen pictures of other SP trains from this era carrying a mix f Pulman green heavyweights and unpainted stainless steel cars. It wasn’t going to be more than a year tops before all the heavyweights were gone from the Beaver anyway so why go to this extra expense? Stripping all the paint from a stainless steel car must have been a difficult and expensive process. It’s an interesting comment on how important it was to the SP in 1940 that their trains all have cars with a similar look paint scheme to have done this.
