Re: SP Conductor's book 1938-39

Baggage cars were used to transport newspapers, magazines, catalogs, and other specialized time sensitive loads. It was less expensive to ship by rail in bulk to distributed mailing points than to send by mail from one location. Not sure this counts as freight. May belong on the passenger car list.

Al,
It looks like SAL 301 is listed as BAG, could it be a baggage car? Be nice tothrow one into one of my 1930s SP Oregon freights.
To all who thanked me on and off line you are more then welcome. This is thefirst book of this type I have ever found and it is so interesting it had to be
shared in a way others could use it also.
