No baggage car ? I'll have my bicycle with me so will have to take a different train ..
As a teen, I lived in Scarsdale near the Hartsdale station. Once a friend and I rode our bicycles down to Scarsdale (M.P. 19.0), checked them at the station, rode the train to Hartsdale(M.P. 20.6) and retrieved our bikes from the baggage man. Cost us 10 cents each, the minimum fare between stations. That was an MU train with an MU combine.
