The term "Baggage Car" is somewhat of a misnomer, the more correct term is "Baggage Express" (AAR code BE) - which is more descriptive of its purpose. They were more likely to be carrying storage mai

Hi Rupert, Greg and List, Before I was born, my parents and older siblings lived in Naperville, near the accident site at the time of the crash. I recall them, while I was growing up, discussing the

Rupert, From all the information that I have seen of the wreck, none of the baggage and express cars were involved in the accident and thus, remained undamaged and probably weren't even derailed. Mos

The website confirms what I have read elsewhere.  The Advance Flyer was a Chicago-Omaha/Lincoln train.  As such, I do not believe that it was the first section of the Exposition Flyer. Both the Advan

No, it was a Chicago-Denver, Denver-SLC, SLC-Oakland train - depending on era. As I say, both trains got torn apart and put together throughout the trip. Mostly WB, though there were some EB AEFs. Ag

The answer is probably lost to history, but I would guess that the Burlington had no need for the Mississippi in its pre-crash configuration so it did not get rebuilt in kind. Since they owned the re

Ironically, the office car Burlington is, IIRC, now named Mississippi River. While the Roundup was built into streamlined configuration in 1953, didn t it ressemble a prewar Budd car? -- Yahoo! Group
