PASSENGER CAR PHOTO INDEX - JAMES E. STRATES SHOWS ~ THE REXALL TRAIN ~ ROYAL AMERICAN SHOWS

This website was created from a copy of passcarphotos.info which was originally saved on April 26, 2018. The website was originally created and managed by J.M. LaBODA who passed away in early 2018. When his website disappeared this copy was erected to keep the massive amount of information he collected available to all. We are also working to recover his other two websites: interurbancarphotos.info and pcccarphotos.info

Due to many of the photographs linking to external websites, not all of the links will continue to work as time goes on. A full offline copy of this website can be downloaded here: passcarphotos.zip

The Rexall Train

Rexall Train pages at Theme Trains - This section of the Theme Trains website features good information and background on the cars, and engine, that made up this train. Roster pages include interior shots of the various cars as well as histories on them.
Terminal RR Association of St. Louis Historical and Technical Society - The Double issue 55-56 Summer/Autumn 2000 bulliten by this group features an extensive article about the Rexall Train, the company's history and its untimate break-up. At $10.00, plus $1 for postage this is the single best resource for learning about this train, with complete histories on the cars as well as a number of photos of the train. Not a Show train, the train was a rolling display for Rexall drug store owners to come and see what the company had, as well as to be wined and dined by company representatives. I have a copy of this issue myself and it is well worth the money to buy it!!!
