Yes Phil. After the 1949 suburban fleet upgrade power cars were numbered 7300-7313 according to a 1952 listing of suburban assignments in my collection. 7300 & 01 were the only two equipped with a baggage section. Most folks think these handled newspapers, but much,much more was handled in these cars and others. 

There is an article coming soon entitled "Mail,Baggage and Express on the Dinkies". Stay tuned 

For a detailed look at all the business handled by the dinkies besides passengers. Both revenue and non revenue.

Hello Q experts -

Were 7300 /7301 power cars from suburban service?????     

Does not look quite right to be an RPO combine.           PAW

The heavyweight car is CB&Q 7300 or 7301.  7301 came to KCMO's SHRHS thanks to William A.Rule.  Subsequent owners uncertain. I have no idea how this combination of 3 cars could have come about.  It is possible that one of the hwt cars was used for a RAGBRAI special in Iowa.
