The Walthers Baggage car is a Santa Fe prototype, but is very correct for 
Rock Island too (with a truck change). My impression is that the Athearn 
baggage car suggests a pre-war Budd baggage car, and more closely 
representing a Burlington pre-war car.

The Walthers post war car with skirts removed could suggest the late 
Burlington/BN era. Also, mail storage cars ended up everywhere, you could 
include a Santa Fe lettered car in your Burlington mail train consists. 

Walthers has done such a great job with these cars, even one lettered 
Burlington would look great!
