Official Railway Equipment Register
Until late 1915 or early 1916, the railroads of Union Pacific (UP, OSL, OWRR&N, SPLA&SL) were shown separately in the Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER). At some time between August 1915 and May 1916, the equipment listings were consolidated to reflect the general 1915 Union Pacific System equipment numbering plan.
For unknown reasons, Union Pacific passenger car information was *not* included on ORER for 1938 through 1943, when the Official Register of Passenger Train Equipment (ORPTE) was first issued. Then from the March 1943 issue through the March 1971 issue, all passenger car data was published in ORPTE.
The following ORER issues were very graciously furnished by the following people.
Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER), digital copies on CD of UP (including OSL, OWRR&N, and LA&SL) pages for October 1919, December 1930, and July 1935 purchased from Westerfield.
