Passenger Trains > The Baggage Car is Back, Baby!Date: 11/18/22 19:17 The Baggage Car is Back, Baby! Author: RuleG The baggage car has returned to the Pennsylvanian. It was on today's #43.
It was also interesting to note that today's #43 had seven cars in addition to the baggage car and today's #42 which did not have a baggage car, also had seven cars.

I wonder if the Palmetto gets it too. Sometimes they swap equipment in Sunnyside overnight. Posted from Android Date: 11/19/22 05:16 Re: The Baggage Car is Back, Baby! Author: ProAmtrak All trains that usually have baggage cars should still have them, Ammanagment's stupidity is still showing their ugly head, especially on the LD Trains!
