Thanks to a member of the Passenger Car List @ Yahoo! Groups I now can share the list of names for the 1030 - 1051 series of names, as published in the [url=https://www.gnrhs.org/]Great Northern Railway Historical Society reference sheet #347 from March 2008 - Great Northern Wood and Heavyweight Dining and Cafe Cars:

1030 Illinois
1031 Wisconsin
1032 Minnesota
1033 Iowa
1034 Montana
1035 Idaho
1036 Washington
1037 Oregon
1038 North Dakota
1039 South Dakota
1040 British Columbia (NOT a State, but a province in Canada)
1041 Manitoba (NOT a State, but a province in Canada)
1042 California
1043 Pennsylvania
1044 Michigan
1045 Missouri
1046 New York
1047 Ohio
1048 Indiana
1049 Massachusetts
1050 Maryland
1051 Texas

I've only scratched the surface myself as far as these Reference Sheets go but considering the amount of info that they provide I believe I will be looking more closely at these references because of the amount of information that they provide.  I am always looking for a way of increasing the resources I have and to gain info on the GN it would be well worth the effort.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing that. I like to see some more images of some of those. Will have to do some more research.
Model railroading isn't saving my life, but it's providing me moments of joy not normally associated with my current situation..... Train are good!

I wish you luck... I have searched high and low all over the internet for such shots and all I have found was the one shot of the car mentioned above after it were placed into MofW service... really wish more of these beauties could be found!!!
