Daily Waypoint | N 39° 58′ 57″ W 76° 9′ 37″ Track-Side Baggage Car and Signal—Pennsylvania Railroad No. 9356 Baggage Car, built in 1928 by St. Louis Car Company, St. Louis, Missouri. Baggage cars had a variety of uses on American railroads. The staff included a baggage clerk and his staff of handlers to handle shipping crates, mail bags, express packages, steamer trunks, and parcels. They hauled the load on a motorized wagon to the loading platform where strong backs heft the varied cargo onto the car. In some cars, such as the No. 9356, the work was carried out en route, requiring a work desk, pigeonhole sorting racks, steam heat, electric lighting, water cooler, safe, and a restroom for the agent.—Seen at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. The museum's collection has more than 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars that chronicle American railroad history. >>>FMG>>>> Like. Comment.
