Rupert - in the piece Hol sent out this is
included:

"Each train consists of a composite car, a Pullman and two chair
cars, in addition to a baggage car."

Now, it seems like an afterthought, even in the news story.  I
wonder if this wasn't a full baggage, but rather a MBE - there were
"postal cars" built to Lot 2372 Plan 854 - I'll have to see if
a Floor Plan for 854 is extant.   

There is no record (that I have found) that provides the numbers of the
postal cars, the chair or coaches - or the number of postal cars
built.   The built date is suspicious given the newspaper
description.

Thanks for this extra information. There was no reference in either magazine piece to a baggage car being supplied by Pullman with the other equipment.

I thought these sounded familiar, Rupert & I discussed these a year and a half ago. 

Note that, while 4 sets were described, 5 comp[osite cars are listed:

5 Composite Baggage, Buffet, Smoking:

    COLORADO, ILLINOIS, IOWA, MISSOURI, NEBRASKA built 1899   Lot 2410  Plan1400

The 4 Pullman Sleepers:

CHICAGO, BURLINGTON & QUINCY R.R. 4 Sleeper - 12 Section, 1 Drawing Room - G/S -

    DIAMOND, EMERALD, RUBY, SAPHIRE built 1899   Lot 2390 Plan 1318-C.

There were 4 passenger day coaches & 8 passenger chair cars built at this same period -

CHICAGO, BURLINGTON & QUINCY R.R. 8 Chair Cars - No. ????  built 1899   Lot 2460 Plan 1435-D

CHICAGO, BURLINGTON & QUINCY R.R. 4 Passenger  Day Coaches - No. ???? Built  1899   Lot 2461 Plan 1436-B

Assume the baggage cars were existing or built by AC&F or other.
