Pullman Library - James Kincaid Collection
Several years ago, Jim Kinkaid posted a good portion of his collection of
builder's and other freight car photos to the Photos area of the Modern
Freight Car List, while that listing was available as a Yahoo Group.
Subsequently, Yahoo abandoned support of Groups and most groups migrated
messages, etc. to the Groups.IO platform. The Modern Freight Car List made
that transition, but there was no means to transfer the large collection to
the new platform.
Jim Kinkaid and MFCL owner, Jim Eager sought another means to make this
useful collection more generally available. In 2019 Jim Kinkaid agreed to
donate portions of his collection to the Pullman Library of the Illinois
Railway Museum. As an advance, he has provided electronic copies of the
freight car collection and we are pleased to offer them for view and
download via this site. The files have been organized alphabetically by
railroad reporting marks.
