Probable "everybody knows" that Silver Treasure was the "one and only" baggage car equipped with a steam generator and water tank to provide steam heat for train heating..hot water etc for trains like SSZ pulled by "Shovel Nose" engines which were not equipped with steam generators...There was a BB several years ago with a piece describing this unique car and it's use.

Great and interesting photo!

The baggage (mail storage) car behind the locomotive is a post-war baggage car with full skirts, possibly "Silver Treasure" or similar built by Budd in 1948. The RPO is similar to pre-war cars Silver Mail and Silver Sheen.

Following the heavyweight baggage (mail storage) car are two pre-war chair coaches with a Diner-Parlor-Observation car bringing up the rear.

The equipment built for the "Silver Streak Zephyr", when introduced in 1940 included:

9909 "Silver Bullet" (reportedly re-assigned to Sam Houston Zephyr in 1944 for a period)

Baggage Car "Silver Light" (not pictured here)
Baggage-RPO "Silver Sheen"
52 seat Chair Coach "Silver Gleam"
52 seat Chair Coach "Silver Glow"
Diner Parlor Observation "Silver Spirit"
