Gary Everhart General That is a rare car. Not sure how easily it would be to unload compared to the more typical flatcar carrier. 1/11/2021 5:44:59 AM
Chuck Zeiler General Gary, I don't know why a baggage car was chosen either. I seem to recall that the move to the shops was accomplished by tacking the car on the back of a westbound Dinky (commuter train). I'll try to find out the reason. 1/11/2021 11:54:28 AM
