Need baggage - mail car help!

[NW Mailing List]

I got this from the D&RGW Historical Society web  site. 
    632  bag-mail, 4-axle, 71ft Pull -13 ex-D&SL  #560
I further found this diagram:

(http://www.drgw.org/data/passenger/folios/pages/p037.htm) 
Unfortunately, this seems to bring into question the supposed  lineage of 
AC 208/10059, especially given the disposal dates that Jim lists  below, as 
Algoma Central obtained 208 in 1949 from D&RGW, according to  several sources.
 
'tis a puzzlement....

Myy information indicates Class BMg Baggage/Mail were built in January 1927 
 by Bethlehem.  There were four cars in this class.  The information  that 
I have indicates the following dispositions:

11 - sold 9/7/61 to Waldo E. Bugbee 
12 - Sold 11/30/56 to James M. Motley & Co., Inc. 
13 - Converted to Mail Storage Car #1425 by Roanoke Shops on 11/3/55 and

Subject: Need  baggage - mail car help!

I am doing some research on the N&W class  BMg baggage - 15' mail apartment 
cars and was wondering if anyone could help  me with some information.  The 
original series appears to have started  with the number 10 and it is known 
to me that there was a number 11 as  well.  One car later on was converted 
to class MS3 mail storage and  numbered 1425.  Can anyone tell me anything 
more about the series, how  many cars there actually was and what their 
numbers were?

The reason I  am asking is because of a baggage - 15' mail apartment car 
that ended up on  the Algoma Central roster as their 208.  It appears that 
prior to going  to the AC the car was Rio Grande 632, ex-Denver & Salt Lake 
560, the only  car of its kind.  But in looking at a shot of N&W 11 and AC 208  
(renumbered as AC 10059 in MofW service) the car is nearly identical, save 
for  some alterations for MofW service.  Was there another car in this  
series?  I can help wondering if there was since the Rio Grande took over  the 
D&SL before the 1956 diagrams that I have.  Here are the two  shots I am 
comparing... minor detail differences.

N&W 11
