Old warhorse baggage car
Author: mp51w

Baggage car 1158, former steam heated 1184, ex-NYC baggage car, on the Empire Builder westbound at Brookfield, WI in 1985.
Built in 1946/47 by American Car & Foundry.  Can you imagine the miles?

Looks like it had windows at one time.

Looks to be the same type baggage car used to make up the display cars of the American Freedom Train. We had, I think, 14 of them. Some of them were former “horse cars” with full end doors- handy for fitting the 4 diesel generator sets that provided the train’s HEP.

Looks like it's been rolling through a few war zones...
