This car does physically appear to be similar to Baggage 8730, currently located at the Alberta Railway Museum. Baggage 8730 is described as:
"Baggage 8730 was built in 1939 and was used on passenger trains between Toronto, Halifax and Vancouver. During the Second World War baggage cars such as this one carried wing and tail assemblies for aircraft from manufacturing plants in Ontario to Halifax for overseas shipment. High priority shipments and Less than Carload Lots (LCL) were often sent in baggage cars on Through Passenger Trains. The cars could also be fitted with collapsible stalls to carry horses."
