1602 and 1602 were 1948 pool cars. The TCZ didn't carry a RPO.

Hello. New member here with question referencing an old thread.

I have a 1980 picture on RRPA of a CB&Q RPO/Baggage car stored at St. Paul. The car number and name appear to have been removed. A recent comment to the photo page suggests this may be "Silver Post". Can anyone confirm this or further clarify?

Thanks in advance.
