To my knowledge, they are still hangups in getting the car moved to Union.

Patrick,

I don't know what is in Denver now. I walked into Robinson one time and the car there was baggage 1309 no RPO compartment. I can' tfind my slides a tthe moment but I believe the boxcars were C&S car not Q.
I heard the 1309 had been moved to a museum but I forget where.

If they are not the same, does anyone know the disposition of the two 40' box cars and Bagg-RPO at Robinson Dairy?
