Re: [CBQ] RPO storage mail for Chicago leg of Builder?

["little-q@att.net" <trains@davidstreeter.net>]

In the second and third photos, I think that's the baggage-dorm, not the 
RPO, based on the window pattern. The leading full baggage would be 
storage mail.
Still, the photos are useful; thanks. Are there any in the 1955-59 time 
frame?
When I have a chance, I need to go through my train and see what cars I 
have. The box is marked summer 1956. Separately, there are 2 or 3 blue 
cars, if I feel like running it in the late 60s instead, but I'll worry 
about that later.
