I know that to some extent Pullman cars where interchanged between railroads. I am wondering if, and to what extent railroads interchanged their home road passenger cars??
I know that the PRR, NYC and Wabash (to a lesser extent) all shared Detroit Unioin Terminal with the PM.
I am wondering if it would be prototypical to have passenger equipment, outside of the typical head end cars, from a different road?
I have come across some information about this practice, but only as it pertained to head end cars and Pullman. Not that it would directly effect my passenger operations, as I do not plan on doing extensive passenger switching. I know I will have through traffic featuring PRR and NYC as well as my home road, but they might have to stop and pick up a sleeper, or swap out dining cars.
It is not an important issue to me, my curiousity stems more from a rail fan perspective.
