     The B60b's contributions to American History were to transport Baggage and Express Packages. A fabrication of the Pennsylvania Railroad, they "served" many Railroads throughout the Country as part of the Railway Express Agency.

     Presence of roof vents indicated the car was styled in such a manner as to carry a rider, or "messenger", whose duties were to sort the mail and packages while in transit. This was a far cry from today's air conditioning and ventilation systems. Messenger-equipped cars also sported a 6" gold star above the car number, indicating the car may be occupied. They could be spotted at the head end on long distance trains when accompanying the train for the entire trip. However, if their journey was limited to a short distance, they would be coupled on the back of the train for ease of drop off while the remainder of the train continued to its destination.

     Generally coupled to the front of a train, the typical duty of a Baggage Car was to carry the checked baggage for the passengers traveling on the train. These cars were not occupied by a messenger and were inaccessible to passengers while the train was in motion. Therefore they did not sport the roof vents nor the gold star.
