I suspect it was either due to the presence of the buffet - or...dining stops.  I don't have a 1899 PTT or ET - or even official guide - but, tho diners surely existed, there were also, still, a large number of eating houses. 

Five dining cars were built for the CB&Q in 1901.   Perhaps they found the need for them by that time?   Prior to that time, Pullman hadn't built any diners for the Q - not to say Aurora or AC&F didn't build them, haven't really looked. 

It is interesting that a train with a composite that included a baggage compartment needed a full baggage.   It would seem to me that the "baggage" was an MBE, the combined space would be the same for a baggage car, but ti would allow the division of express from baggage or company express from Adams.

Also interesting is the fact that no dining car service is mentioned, though it was surely a part of the train.

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.
