> It looks like a Southern Railway 85ft postal-baggage car, Pullman built for the 1941 Southerner or Tennessean trains. Or it could have been a straight baggage car with three wide doors on each side.  The car is so extensively altered it is hard to tell.  In 1950 at least one car was built by ACF to the same specs but with fluting only where the black belt rail now is.  The 1941 cars eventually had their fluted panels replaced with sheet stainless like the car in the photo. When postal contracts ended, Southern rebuilt the cars for baggage-express service.  They were still in service as long as Southern was in the passenger business.
