Digerness1-409 has a side-view drawing of DSP&P #1301 by Dan Abbott which purports to be at a scale of 3/16' = 1' but appears to have been stretched laterally to fill the page (or shrunk vertically, as the case may be).

Carstens/Slim has a post-1915 plan of C&S #13 by Ed Gebhardt.

The May/June 1977 issue of Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette has a drawing of C&S B-M-X #13.

C&S baggage-mail car #13 diagram

Car diagram for C&S baggage-mail cars #10, #11 and #12 updated through 1918. (Note that this is not a scale drawing.) This shows a Railway Mail Service “Standard” 15'-0" Narrow Gauge Mail Apartment. Note that the mail cases are arranged in a “U” shape with its bottom against the amidships partition of the car. This was part of the 1912 regulations. Prior to this time, the “U” shape had its bottom against the end wall of the car. Click pic for enlargement.
