Was looking through photos on rrpicturearchives when I came across this.

The point of the picture is ATSF caboose 2018 (the caboose once displayed with 2926 during her days at Coronado Park), but coupled to it are a troop sleeper and a B unit

What's the history behind these 2 pieces of equipment?

It looks like a shorty baggage car to me, not a B unit. I believe that location is the closed former Santa Fe Albuquerque shops, but I have no idea why that equipment is there.

That's not a troop sleeper. It's a troop kitchen car. A sleeper has a lot more windows.

Both my photos.

I believe all three pieces are a part of the Wheels Museum collection.
