Well, I found this thread and had hoped an answer was buried in it but no luck, 
so I will post MY question. I have the entire GN Empire Builder consist (the 
new Walthers) and I know that a Q headend car was n the consist between CUS & 
SPUD. The GN listing says it is a RPO/Baggage-Mail Storage car but can not find 
anything more than that. I came across the Rapido "Havelock" Baggage car and 
grabbed one in hopes that it would go correctly in the consist.

So, I would love to know the car numbers/names for the Q headend cars that were 
usually found on the Empire Builder between 1956-1965 timeframe.

Thank You,

Tom johnson
