Product Information:
Built by the Pacific Car & Foundry in 1962, this 100-car order was intended to replace aging mail and express equipment from the 1920s. The SP had invested in streamlined passenger equipment but had not ordered substantial quantities of lightweight postal or baggage cars. 65 cars (6701-6765) were classified as “Mail Baggage Express” cars which did not have any heating or sanitary facilities, while 35 cars (6766-6800) included messenger facilities, heating, bathrooms and four additional roof vents. Another spotting feature of the “Train Baggage Messenger” cars included the star above the SP road
number, signifying the TBM facilities.
