Several+ years ago, NASG (www.nasg.org) put out a pair of hwt sleepers, one is 10-1-2, the other 12-1. The accompanying sheet and dry transfer decals list Fort Clark and Fort Dodge as leased to RI. There are no RI listings for any 12-1s. Does this help any?

The 12 Section - 1 Drawing Room cars were Pullman's most common arrangement. There were 10 assigned to the Rock Island from plan 2410-F in 1921. The names - Acme, Amerene, Amesbury, Amidon, Angelo, Anita, Argo, Aspern, Avon and Callisto.

Thanks a million Steve, that's pure gold! :-) A couple of follow-up questions - My 1932 timetable lists a 12-1 sleeper on the Mid-Continent Special (both eastbound and westbound). Any ideas on the names for any of those? As for the CRIP-owned cars (Club, Chair, Dining, Cafe-Parlor, Coach, etc), would these have been "named" cars as well? Or simply numbered?
