The only known surviving C&Sng baggage car is in Nebraska. It resides at the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie in Grand Island. I had a unique chance to visit the museum and baggage car No. 2 last May. You can see photos from that trip here.
Recently Ken Martin reached out when he found the photo below.

| Ken Martin photo / August 1978 |
Ken took the photo in August of 1978 when the museum was rebuilding the car, most recently used as a farm shed, into an operating car for the museum's loop railroad. He also remembered that one of the workers commented on how difficult it was to rebuild the roof ends.
To see the car today and get a bit of its history, watch the video below made using photos and video from my visit to Stuhr.
