Re: [CBQ] Shipping human remains by rail

["cvlk" <cvlk@comcast.net>]

The floor height of the baggage cart is not "built up".... the platform is just 
a thicker construction or has sheathing on the sides.   The height is normal... 
look at the relationship of the top of the deck to the top of the wheels...  If 
anything, the rail to floor height of the articulated Zephyr Baggage Cars would 
be lower, not higher, and the prewar and postwar regular Budd Cars would have a 
height compatible with havyweight cars.

  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. Richard Townsend
