Several other RRs converted ex-Army troop sleeper & kitchen cars to baggage
or express service. One was the Monon (Chicago Indianapolis & Louisville),
which shared terminal space with Erie Lackawanna at Dearborn Station in Chicago,
and had a joint passenger station at Hammond, IN.
Micro Trains now has troop sleepers & kitchen cars in N scale.
