Re: [CBQ] Shipping human remains by rail

[archie hayden <kliner@mywdo.com>]

List,  I posted a photo of a coffin that was being loaded on a Zephyr  
baggage car in 1938.  A young sailor was killed by the Japanese  
bombers on the Yangses River.  Of special note the baggage cart has  
been built up about an extra foot in height to reach the baggage coach  
door.  Were Zephyr doors higher than regular heavyweight doors?  The  
photos can be found in an album named Human Remains.  Archie
