Please find a copy of BRHS Bulletin 1 entitled" The Dinkies in Transition"  
as it will provide some details.
Here's a quick response. Suburban trains carried baggage cars to  handle 
newspapers,company material and company mail,etc There were also REA cars  
going to Aurora and other stations.
In the Aurora lodge BRT/UTU files in my possesion there is proof of a xmas  
time where a solid extra train made roundtrips between Aurora and Chicago  
handling express and parcels,etc. I hope someday to share that as an  
article in one of the BRHS pubs.
Also in those files are bid sheets for suburban jobs showing trains with 2  
or more baggage cars and set outs and pick ups in route.Some were working 
cars  and some were storage cars.
There was even a car for bread out of Pepperidge Farm.
Then of course there was the wheel car which is pretty unique ;used for  
loco wheels between Aurora and 14th st.
Ever see a photo of a dinkie w/Zephyr cars deadheading to the Aurora shops? 
How about the Sunday night westbound train with several diesels lashed  
together elephant style ?
