Re:Re: (erielack) Foreign road express cars

Were they in railroad service or REA?  I would expect REA.  That would allow them to appear in interchange service with a reasonable chance of getting home.

But...the C&O definitely (and maybe the Pennsy or NYC? Possibly others.)  did have actual baggage-express-automobile cars in passenger service.  There was an article on them in the past couple of months in the C&OHS  monthly publication. They were and looked like standard baggage cars but  with end doors on one end like a theatrical car or some horse cars and  were equipped with portable ramps and tie-downs for automobiles.
