OK, I admit my ignorance of Pennsy and B&O headend car details and concede that I was wrong in identifying the car in the Corbin photo I posted. But I know with certainty that Pennsy express cars, whether converted from express reefers or not, were fairly
common on the Q between Chicago and Denver from the postwar period through the early 1960s.
The Penney express cars ( reefers, boxcars, and baggage cars) were frequent visitors to many roads…. The B60 baggage cars ( and the subclasses ) and the X29 boxcars were the most frequent, just due to the size of the fleet….
I gather from photos that the Q must have done quite a bit of express business with the NYC as well… which is part of the reason the train in the photo that started this thread has a flexivan… Even the California Zephyr carried Flexivans for a time….
