Just curious what you guys do - do you install lighting in baggage and RPO cars?
They are fitted that way from the manufacturers, obviously, but I'm installing LED lighting and got to wondering what was prototypical. Seems like baggage cars, at least, would typically be dark during normal operation.

An RPO would be lit, as there are people in there sorting mail during the run.
Baggage cars had butterfly switches to control the lights. Usually were off in transit but at times passengers needed to get to their luggage and a conductor or porter would accompany them in the car. Therefore a baggage car running with lights on would not be inappropriate. John
