RE: [CBQ] Off-line baggage cars for a Q express train

["cvlk@comcast.net [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

There are some dvd/cd copies of movies taken around Sandwich, IL in the 1950s of which the photographer and title I disremember and cannot access at the moment.

In it are loco to marker shots of trains (Colorado Limited??) which have very heavy head end traffic and contain a variety of foreign road cars.

From what I remember of the production and from observing trains on the East End back in the day in Brookfield I think you have a good start.   Add New York Central short heavyweight baggage cars riding on four wheel trucks, NYC and SP smoothside “economy” baggage cars, NYC, NH and REA converted Troop Sleepers, and UP “Horse” baggage cars were pretty common as well.
