Hey Keith,

I enjoyed having the little folks visit--they are hard workers! I offered them a new contract to come back and finish the baggage car with me, but they would never commit. I guess if you're only 1.5 inches tall, the sound of coyotes howling in the nearby woods all night can be unnerving.

It looks to me that baggage car 3 had only one grab for each baggage door as well:




And notice that the steps below the baggage door aren't centered on any of the cars, they are off-set to the side of the grab iron location.

I guess if the same express car is used on the same passenger train, with the same crew, day after day, the crew come to reflexively know where to reach for the grab iron.
