Wood\n\t\t\tconstruction had two major issues. It is a combustible product,\n\t\t\tespecially when placed near a heat source, such as a stove used\n\t\t\tfor heating. It also lacks the strength of steel. Wreckage of wooden\n\t\t\tpassenger and head-end cars has resulted in many deaths. Wood lacks\n\t\t\tthe strength to prevent the “telescoping” of rail cars during a wreck,\n\t\t\tsignificantly increasing the casualties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\u003cp\u003eIn 1905, the Southern Pacific began developing an experimental steel\n\t\t\tpassenger car, built on I-Beams and cast body bolsters. Steel side sills\n\t\t\tand vertical posts, along with a horizontal belt rail formed the framework\n\t\t\tfor a strong girder type of construction. Metal plates were attached to\n\t\t\tthe girder sides. An arched roof consisting of overlapping rolled steel\n\t\t\tplates provided great lateral strength between the car sides. Further\n\t\t\tdevelopment of the design included weight reduction, the use of a\n\t\t\tcement flooring, and insulation application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\u003cp\u003eDuring this developmental period, the Southern Pacific was controlled\n\t\t\tby E. H. Harriman, who also had or acquired acquired control of the\n\t\t\tUnion Pacific, Illinois Central, and the Chicago \u0026amp; Alton. These railroads,\n\t\t\toften referred to as the Harriman “Associated Lines”, adopted a\n\t\t\t“Common Standard” design of these cars and other railroad equipment.\n\t\t\tThis “Common Standard” design eliminated the duplication of\n\t\t\tengineering time while lowering the cost of purchased equipment. With\n\t\t\tfew exceptions, the 60' Common Standard Baggage Cars were built by\n\t\t\tPullman Standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\u003cp\u003eGenerally, the “Common Standard” baggage cars were designed to\n\t\t\thaul the baggage of the passengers riding the train, typically suitcases\n\t\t\tand trunks. Less typical examples of passenger baggage would be\n\t\t\tskis and golf clubs, notably for the seasonal trains. Parcels were also\n\t\t\ttransported as required. Other examples of less common baggage\n\t\t\tcould include: pets (in crates), newspapers, company mail (paychecks,\n\t\t\tvouchers, tickets, coupon books, and meal checks), caskets with\n\t\t\thuman remains, along with milk and cream (typically in 5 or 10 gallon\n\t\t\tmilk cans).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- CMS OVERVIEW END--\u003e \u003c!-- CMS FEATURES START--\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"max-width:930px\" class=\"mx-auto mb-1 long-desc-content\"\u003e\n\t\u003csection id=\"modelFeatures\"\u003e\n\t\t\u003c!-- LOCOMOTIVE FEATURES --\u003e\n\t\t\u003ch3\u003eATHEARN 60ft PULLMAN COMMON STANDARD BAGGAGE CAR FEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"row pb-3\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\u003cul\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eArched overlapping roof panels with simulated rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003ePintsch gas vents and piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eRoof vents, rectangular, staggered arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eStove smokestack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eDrip strips over side and end doors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eFormed wire grabs and ladder rests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eMagnetically attached roof for easier removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eWooden doors or ply-metal doors per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eTwo underframe versions: “As-Built” underframe with toolbox, gas tanks\n\t\t\t\t\t\t(2) , or “Modernized” underframe with battery box per prototype\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-6 col-sm-12\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\u003cul\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eDiaphragm on ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eStirrup steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cli\u003eBrake cylinder \u0026amp;
