I found this photo, taken this past July, of a baggage car on the BHC in Hill City, SD: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1270326 The caption says that it's CB&Q baggage car 3525, but I wonder. The truck on the left side of the photo looks like a Standard C80P, a not-uncommon interurban type, and the ends of the car look much more like interurban design than railroad. Might this be Oregon Electric 350/OE 950/PGE 706/PGE X124, an interurban freight trailer formerly at the Vernonia South Park & Sunset along with the BHC's other ex-OE interurban cars? |

CB&Q 3525 was a heavyweight, six wheel trucked, combination coach and baggage car. It was a steel car built by ACF in 1927. This obviously is not CB&Q 3525. Don C. |
