Saw this south of Tucson, across Nogales Highway from the UP track, a few days ago. Did a cursory web search, but didn't find anything about it. Anyone know more?

At first glance, it looks like an RPO.
An interesting find. With the vestibule ends some type of passenger car and possibly they added the baggage door?
How far from this was it?
I'll side with BobbyD. Could have left the factory as a 60' Harriman coach car for the SP. The vestibule door openings and rightmost two windows may be original, all other openings may be after the fact. John in Lansing, ILL
It looks like it is on tires. Delivered there by truck?
Looks like it has been made into a trailer, 4 sets of axles on the left end and a 5th wheel pin under the right end of the car. Maybe used at one time as a portable office for a construction company,

BobbyD - it's maybe seven or eight miles north of Sahuarita.
Keith - nice observation.
Thanks all for the replies.

Before entering that car, I'd check to see if Walter White or Jesse Pinkman are in the immediate vicinity. If so, better call Saul....just sayin!
