Freight trains picking up passenger cars
Author: john1082

The flip side of this is how often freight trains picked up passenger type cars at outlying stations. I've read where the UP had some baggage & express cars that would be dropped from various trains at distant locations and then these same cars would make their way back to Omaha via a convenient freight train. Was this a common sort of thing to do way back when?
