Baggage Rights For Dead Man Trains Denver Post
Five travelers faced excess baggage on a near full fare trip when a dead man’s baggage needed weighing. The chief baggage master ruled that the coffin could ride with the live passengers under the regular limit of not to exceed 150 pounds per ticket, after the General Traffic Managers Association decision was cited. The clerk had never heard of such a case before and the five hurried to check the trunks to avoid missing the train.
