DSP&P Plans by John Maxwell


This page contains reduced size reproductions of John Maxwell's plans of South Park era equipment. There are 3 locomotives, 3 passenger cars, and 7 freight cars, plus 4 waycars from the C&S era. For more C&S era drawinds, CLICK HERE -- these cover DSP&P cars that survived into the 1900's.

All were drawn in the 1950's and 1960's. John's notes and comments on the plans give insights into road numbers (with dates) and construction details that are the backbone of many subsequent articles and books on the DSP&P.


I purchased a set of 183 plans from an estate sale via eBay that covered a wide range of his drawings. My copies appear to be very old blackline prints on very soft paper that will not stand much handling. I have no idea how complete the set is. For a complete index of this collection, CLICK HERE.

John's son Bruce managed the Maxwell Collection for a few years but he too has passed away. I don't know where the original drawings are now. If you know who has the originals, please
 contact me.

DSP&P / C&S Plans by John Maxwell


These plans are for cars that were on the DSP&P that made it to the C&S era. All images displayed below have been reduced in size. Remember to add end platforms to the baggage cars. Caboose cupolas came late in DL&G or early C&S eras. For a relatively complete index of John Maxwell's plans, CLICK HERE.

A note on the excursion car plan shows some dates from 1883, possibly on the CC Georgetown Loop, but could also be DSP&P out of Denver.
