Tri-State's baggage cars, Nos. 2037 and 2038 represent two of a fleet of 75 60 foot baggage cars built by the Pressed Steel Car Company and acquired by the DL&W between 1925 and 1927.
The original 75 cars were configured as either baggage express, express messenger, or mail storage, and were used throughout the system between Hoboken and Buffalo.
July, 1994 marked the debut of the DL&W 2038 restored to its 1930's appearance of Pullman green with black roof, trucks, and underbody, and gold lettering. Sister car 2037 has been cosmetically restored to the postwar gray and maroon with yellow stripe scheme. These cars are on display at the Whippany Railway Museum.
