Although its passenger traffic was a fraction of neighboring roads like the Pennsylvania RR and B&O, the Reading rostered a fair variety of baggage car classes during its existence, up until the latter half of the 20th century which saw a dramatic decline in long-haul passenger traffic.  Clicking the links below will open the reference document in a separate window; clicking the camera icon (where available) will display a photo in a separate window - Reading Baggage Car photos courtesy John W.
