I am looking for certain information from the passenger consist list that covers the Summer of 1950. Does anyone have a source for this particular one? While I'd be willing to purchase the entire document if it was available, all I really need are the consists for three trains: Day White Mountains, Night White Mountains, and North Wind. Any assistance would be appreciated.

The "Day White Mountain Express" was No. 66 eastward and No. 85 westward. It ran between Grand Central Terminal and points north and east of Springfield.

The "Night White Mountain" was No. 166 eastward and No. 167 westward. It also ran between Grand Central Terminal and points north and east of Springfield.

The "North Wind"?

Don't have a 1950 consist, but do have a 1951 consist.
