| A CB&Q E8A (it's either #9943A or #9943B; I'm leaning towards #9943B) and a #993x-series E7A are the power for a mail train, with a WWII-era troop sleeper rebuilt to an express boxcar first out (might be NYC-owned), followed by 3 heavyweight baggage-express cars (first of these is C&O), 3 more ex-WWII troop sleepers rebuilt to express boxcars, the next car or two might be RPO's, and the last car appears to be a lightweight baggage-express (this would more than likely be a "rider" car). A number of these express boxcars and baggage-express cars would be in postal storage service, and would therefore be locked. Scanned with an Epson V550 from a duplicate 35mm slide, brand is unknown.
