New Haven Railroad Steel Baggage-RPO car 2766 is seen at Danbury, Connecticut, ca mid 1950's. The New Haven Railroad had various series or classes of Baggage-RPO cars that are similar to this type of car. These cars had a 30 foot mail compartment with a single door on each side and a 30 foot baggage compartment with two doors on each side for quick handling. The cars were considered to be 60 footers, however; they were 64 feet over the pulling faces of their couplers. This series of cars was built by Osgood-Bradley in 1915. In the background on the other side of the car you can see a portion of the roof of the station building.
